What Happens When You Contest A Traffic Ticket?

Asked by Cinamingrl (82points) November 11th, 2011

I received a traffic ticket for “following too close”. I want to contest it instead of pleading guilty like usual. If I do this and plead “not guilty”, what happens? Do I have to pay money at that time or a bail amount then? Or do I wait till I go to trial? And if I loose, what happens? Do I have to pay a larger fine? And when?
