Legal Question in Traffic Law in Virginia

What should I do if I am charged with a "Disregard Hwy sign" in Fairfax county Virginia? Will going to court help?
The sign was a R lane must turn R, I did not protest to the officer because it was my first time getting pull over ever and I was unaware that this charge could results in points on my license. Should I plead not guilty,no contest or guilty? If I plead guilty can i then ask for a reduction in my sentence? Or is pleading guilty a bad idea?

The facts which you've described would seem to point

to your guilt of having committed this traffic infraction

as charged.

You might consider a plea of No Contest which is

the same as guilty but in either case would the

judge be likely to reduce your sentence (in my opinion).

Correction: should read "but in neither case"...
