I figure it's better to show up and see what happens.

ALWAYS show up, try to explain your record is clean and any circumstances, and hope for the best.

If you want you can file for a continuance, delays it a month and gives you a second chance to get a cop no show... cops only show up like once a month for court though, so they rarely miss... unless they move or retire.

and the insurance costs are MUCH higher over the long term than the actual fines.
