Just because the officer isn't in court doesn't mean your charge will be automatically dismissed. The first time you go to court may be an arraignment date where the officer isn't even summoned to court. If you plead not guilty, he will be summoned for the next court date. If he never shows after a few court dates, then your charge is likely to be dismissed, but by then you've missed enough work to more than pay for the ticket.

The ticket would have had a time period (usually a few months) for you to act on it. If you do nothing and don't show up to court, you'll almost certainly be found guilty. The ticket should have a number on it for the clerk of the court, who can give you more information. The bottom line is that tickets don't go away if you ignore them.

You don't plead guilty "on a traffic ticket" unless you post your fine, request a court date, and then fail to show up at the traffic court hearing.You are then automatically adjudged guilty by reason of your failing to appear to defend yourself. If you DO go to court you may plead not guilty to the offense, and the judge will grant a hearing in which you and the officer will give testimony, and then the judge will render his verdict. If you have previously pled guilty, or forfeited your fine, in court you will have to file a motion to re-open the case.

How do you plead not guilty for traffic tiket?
This depends on the laws of the state issuing the ticket and the offense. Assuming this is a moving violation, there is usually a box on the ticket maked "Court Appearance Required" or something similar to indicate that you cannot simply mail in the fine like with a parking ticket. If you hire a lawyer, generally, he/she will write to the court, enter a not guilty plea for you, request discovery and ask for an adjournment of the first court date. The court date will most likely be adjourned since the court sees that there is a lawyer and it is now a contested case. If you don't hire a lawyer, you probably have to go to court and verbally enter a not guilty plea. If you plead not guilty, the court will give you a new date for the trial.
