Well I'm not a lawyer, but in most places if you go to court and truly do have a clean record, the judge or prosecutor will lower the fine or maybe even dismiss the ticket on a 6 month 'probation'.
Sometimes they will tell you to complete a green cross traffic safety class;
thats like $30 and a couple hours.
The one thing to consider is keeping it off your record so your insurance doesn't go up 99.9999%.

Be humble & apologetic & polite when you go into court. Being arrogant will NOT make the judge feel sympathetic.
