If your record was perfect up to then, it is no problem to pay the ticket and go to traffic school, which will result in no effect on your record.

I don't know, if you need a judge to approve this option, but here in CA, with only one minor violation like this in 18 months, you can do the traffic school gig, your record stays clean and your insurance will never know.

Paying attention is key in todays traffic.

Yep, just go to driving class and there will be no record of your ticket. That is if your state offers that choice. Mine does for the FIRST ticket.
