In LA and texas you can take defensive driving as long as you are going less than 25 mph over the limit, not in a work/school zone and haven't had a ticket in a year. Just call up the court when you get the packet in the mail and tell them you want to take the class. If you can't do that or don't want to spend the extra $40 for the class schedule a court date and do everything you can to keep moving it (forward, back it doesn't matter). Hope that the cop is out of town or just doesn't feel like dealing with it when the date comes and they will drop it no question asked. I do know the states that allow for a cop to write a citation off of their sight have stood behind those tickets when challenged.
