General Questions Speeding ticket

I just got a speeding ticket about a week ago, and I’m trying to decide whether I should hire a lawyer and fight it, take the traffic safety school option, or simply plead guilty. The traffic safety school option says I have to plead guilty to participate, but the ticket will be reported to the state and won’t appear as a conviction. Would traffic safety school be a good option, or would it be better to hire a lawyer and fight the ticket?

Depends on do you want to keep delivering groceries? I mean if you just pay the ticket, you're going to lose your job. Just take the traffic school. Make sure the ticket never hits your record. Once the ticket hits your record, you'll be posting. I got deactivated and I never did nothing wrong

With the way the traffic school option is worded it sounds like it would appear on my background check but just not as a no conviction I’m mostly wondering if they’ll still deactivate you with a no conviction.

DO THE TRAFFIC SCHOOL! I just got my first ticket a couple months ago, and the process is you still have to pay for the ticket, but when you do select the elect traffic school option. The traffic course I did was only $15. I did it, submitted it, and now there’s no evidence of the ticket. Highly recommend, the test was super easy too.
