In recent news, the New York City Council has proposed a bill that would make it mandatory for citizens to declare guilt when they are guilty of a traffic violation. The Traffic Guilty Plea Form would require drivers to either admit guilt or dispute the charge before a hearing officer. This proposal has been met with mixed reactions, with some drivers stating that it is unnecessary bureaucracy and others arguing that it is a necessary way to ensure fairness in the court system.

If you are entering a plea of Not Guilty, you are saying that you are contesting the charges against you.
A plea of Not Guilty results in a trial. The trial date will be sent to you as a “Notice of Trial.” Please read the following, and provide the information requested.
If you enter a plea of Not Guilty, you must return to court on your trial date ready to dispose of your case by trial. You should go ahead and contact an attorney or contact the Office of the Public Defender for DeKalb County to see if you qualify for the services of an appointed attorney.
At trial you will have an opportunity to confront and question witnesses against you, and you will have an opportunity to present a defense in your own behalf, if you wish to do so. You are not obligated to do either as you are presumed innocent until the case is proven against you beyond a reasonable doubt. You have a right to remain silent at trial and not participate in any manner, and this will not be held against you. If you want to present evidence or testimony, you will be given the opportunity to do so. If you want to subpoena witnesses in your own behalf, you can obtain subpoenas in the office of the Clerk of Recorders Court. If you want to present documents, charts, photos, etc., will be given an opportunity to do so.
The maximum punishment that can be imposed by this court on a conviction at trial is 120 days in jail and $1000 in fines per ticket.
If you are found guilty at trial of a moving violation, a report will be sent to the Georgia Department of Driver Services and may result in points being assessed against you. Many traffic offense convictions could result in the suspension of your license.
If you are convicted at trial, you are expected to pay any fine that may be assessed against you immediately. A fine schedule for all offenses over which this court has jurisdiction can be found at this link. TRAFFIC/ORDINANCE FINE SCHEDULE
If you are convicted at trial you have the right to appeal the conviction by filing a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari in the Superior Court of DeKalb County within 30 days of the date of your conviction.
You also have the option of entering a plea of Guilty at trial or paying your ticket in full before your trial date. A plea of Nolo is not guaranteed at trial or arraignment and is completely in the discretion of the court.
