Best case? You see a reduction in the penalty, and/or a reduction in points. You might have to agree to go to a driver improvement course in order to achieve this outcome, but if it's the difference between getting points and not getting points, I choose the driver improvement course every time.

That's said, if there are no points associated with the ticket, I'd probably just pay it and move on.
Valid.

Person A is aware of what they did wrong, no denying it. I suppose its a balance of 'is it worth taking time off to fight?'

I think there are 'Points' involved, but I have no idea what they mean or add up to, insurance wise. If you get an outrageous number of points, your license gets pulled, but this is the first time ever (11+ years of driving) in which Person A has any tickets/incidents.
