Its true, simply fighting any ticket will help your cause. As will dressing nice. Ive gotten off of all 15, yes 15! moving violations that i have fought. I go in dressed in some nice dress pants, a button down, a TIE, and dress shoes. Most of the other people dress like shlubs, so you will be one step ahead as far as respectability. If you have any documentation that states that your exhasut is legal, such as a warrenty card or something to that effect, bring it.

Act respectful, be sure so say "yes sir" "no sir" and all that junk. Believe me, I ve had a lot of practice at this stuff, but it was always for speeding, never mods. Good luck.
