You're given a date where you have the option to appear in court (unless it's a serous offence where appearance becomes mandatory), or else that date serves as a deadline to pay the fine.

If you decide to just pay the fine, you admit guilt, and points are assessed against you. If found guilty in traffic court, the same thing happens. If you live in a state like Colorado, they'll also tack on a bunch of additional fees. For example, one of our drivers had a $400 fine for being overweight in a commercial vehicle. He went to court, talked to the DA, and the DA agreed to drop the fine by about $100. However, the court tacked on a bunch of fees which brought the total he had to pay to almost $700.

If you don't appear in court and fail to pay the fine by the deadline, your licence gets suspended.
