Cool

Get a lawyer for sure! Most lawyers that deal with traffic court will represent you for less than $500.00. Get one that specializes in traffic court, these guys always hang around the courts and know all the judges, they know which ones are lenient, etc. Also most lawyers will keep filing continuances until you get put on a docket with a good judge or until the cop doesnt show up. If the cop doesnt show up as State's witness against you, your lawyer can move for dimissal. Back in the day, I had many a case where my attorney filed continuances delaying my court appearance as well as any fine payment for more than a year. By the time my case was heard, I was older (insurance impact lessened), and the cop had quit the force so I got off. When I steet race, I keep my attorney's cell phone number and business card in my wallet!
