Should I fight my ticket?

Generally yes — paying is usually treated as pleading guilty, which can add points and affect insurance for moving violations. That’s why it’s worth checking before you pay.

If a ticket adds no points, the fine is small, and you have no real grounds, the time cost of contesting may outweigh the benefit. Parking tickets with a clear signage or meter defense are the exception — those are often worth it.

The app reads your actual ticket and weighs the violation, amount, points/insurance impact, and likely grounds — then gives a recommendation with reasons. This tool is a simpler version.
