To top it off, I go to court to fight it, and they say they can't possibly handle all the cases, so if anyone has a low points offense, they can plead guilty to some lesser charge (they don't say what it is, but it magically carries the same fine), otherwise I may sit there all day, not get my case heard and have to come back.

A friend of mine who gets a few too many tickets always tries to plead it down to a non-moving violation because you don't get any strikes against your insurance or license but the fine is still the same. Probably better in the long run for your pocketbook.
