To pay or fight

I would fight it simply because I paid one about 12 yrs ago and ended up getting a couple more etc. Same thing happened to 2 other Drivers I know. We chalked it up to bad economy revenuers. All 3 of us had years of no tickets. I firmly now believe don’t get convicted of the first one. A clean record goes a long way on the roadside or in court. They pull you over and see a couple already and figure you haven’t learned yet. No break. Just my opinion
