You don't...usually you have make an appearance in Court if you are attempting to plead not-guilty to a traffic violation. Once you plead not guilty then you will be scheduled for a trial. This will allow for you (defendant) to show proof the traffic citation was in error as a mistake of the issuing law enforcement officer. Be prepared to be cross examined by the Traffic Court judge, as it takes more time & energy to fight a citation than it does to pay the fine and/or traffic school. At least in California.
Failure to appear for traffic court
Someone would need a traffic violation lawyer if they were wrongfully accused of a traffic violation and do not have enough knowledge of the laws to defend themselves in a court.
No.
If the 'warning' ticket was written on a standard, numbered traffic violation notice yes, it will be on record.
I'm sure it depends, but in most places, you have to go to court on your court date.
Anytime you have a traffic violation court appearance, that may not be valid, I would suggest you hire a traffic attorney.
Yes. This is often the case in radar speed traps or stakeouts at traffic violation-prone intersections. If you opt to go to court on the charge, both officers will appear in court to testify as to the violation.
That depends on the state or jurisdiction. The court can do so in many states.
Usually the traffic court will work with you if you make a personal appearance. It depends on your record and the violation.

No, but your lawyer might possible be able to do this. You see, you are the one with the traffic violation, so it is you who will be inconvenienced because of your traffic violation. That's all part of the learning process - once one sees what a pain it is to get time off from work, go to court and such, they will think twice before violating the laws again.
Yes
