If you go for a trial, instead of just paying, there's a good chance
the CHP won't want to actually go to court that day. Case dismissed.
It worked for two of my friends recently. They didn't even have
to go to court. They got notices in the mail that the CHP moved
to dismiss.
Worst case is that you have to pay anyway, and spend some time
with bureaucrats. While it probably isn't worthwhile in terms of
the time you spend vs what you get paid, it does keep the points off
you license and insurance. And if you do go to court, you
get the pleasure of knowing that they spent more on you
than you paid them.
