It depends on your situation. You should consider the events leading up to your ticket and whether you believe you have a good case for having it reversed. For example, maybe your speedometer was faulty, or you were experiencing a medical emergency. Unless you feel comfortable representing yourself in court, you may also need to hire an attorney, which can be pricey. The local court will also make a difference – some are willing to drop tickets or points for drivers with otherwise clean driving records, while others aren't so generous.
