Other than possible court costs, what have you got to lose by trying to
plead your case before a judge? The worst the judge can do is say no.

Not entirely true. By contesting the case you lose the option (if you
had it) to go to traffic school.

Just pay it, you deserve it. For now on, keep all cell phones inside
the car turned OFF so long as the car is in motion.
