No, first talk to a lawyer that can help you keep points and convictions off of your record. In most cases a lawyer can appear instead of you in court to fight a speeding ticket and you do not have to show up. However, if you are also charged with a serious violation such as driving without a license or DUI/DWI then you may have to appear.
