My experience from a long way back was if you want to prove your innocence,
then hire a very good lawyer before you decide to go to court to prove it.
If your guilty of the offence as charged, $60 is cheaper than any other
option - including proving you are innocent - pay it and be thankful it
wasn't in Victoria where its $105.
