If you have a lawyer on full-time retainer, and you can afford the time to go to court, and pay any assessed court costs (never mind the violation), you have a fair chance of winning the case.

If you don't have a lawyer on retainer, you'll have to hire one. At the very least, that will cost you what the fine would have been or more, plus any court costs. But then you would, again have a fair chance of winning your case.

If you appear in court alone to "fight it", without a lawyer, the cop who wrote the citation is going to get the benefit of the doubt every time. Then you'll have to pay the fine and the court costs.
