A few years ago I got a speeding ticket where I actually had to go to court over.

Prior to going to court I went online and took one of those driver courses. When I got to court the Judge asked the officer if I was polite. The officer told him that I was extremely polite and courteous. So the Judge said that due to the fact that I took the online course and was polite and courteous he was going to drop the charges and I just pay the court costs ($65 I think it was). Said he didn't want to ruin my perfect driving record.

So - you may get a ticket, but being courteous can and does pay out in the end.
