Yes but assuming you are a good driver they won't add points to your record. Points can kill your insurance.

I interned for a lawyer that practiced criminal law. He said not contesting traffic violations is a big mistake alot of people make. The other mistake is taking a felony without jail time vs a misdemeanor with jail time. Always take the misdemeanor.
