Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

Contest or please guilty and move on?

I received a failure to stop ticket at a red light.

Regardless of the fact that I want to plead not guility to this infraction, I have a dim view of going to court, pleading not guilty, only to have to go to court a second time and have the judge rule against me anyway.

Given the factory like atmosphere of the court system in this (nameless) New Jersey city, I highly doubt the judge will rule in my favor - I see no reason to delay the inevitable.

Should I fight or give it up? In the end I'm probably paying the fine and paying an increase on my insurance rates...
