This was my understanding as well.

Maybe that is an idle threat so people don't contest stuff, dunno.

I just didn't want to end up paying 400 for something just because I wanted to fight something that I legally should pay anyway.

Yea I wish I knew more about how it worked, hopefully somebody can chime in and set the record straight. I got a ticket for riding my motorcycle down a park path this summer and had to go to 'court.' It was like a pre trial where I just talked with the prosecuting attorney and we made a deal and didn't have to pay any court fees. I was under the understanding that I would've if I took it to the next stp though.

Yea, it sucks but might have been worth it to save some money in the long run on insurance.
