It's been a while since I got a ticket (expired registration, though I do tend to have a heavy foot), but some time ago a lawyer acquaintance of mine said you should never plead No Contest, which is the "guilty" option in CT. At the very least, they reduce the penalty in the pre-court meeting the vast majority of time. If they don't, you used to be able to satisfy the fine by making a donation to charity and avoid points.

Back to my registration citation. I had no idea my car was unregistered, as it was a recent purchase and about the time that CT stopped issuing stickers. I also did get the renewal notice. When the court asked for further consideration for pleading not guilty, I wrote a letter describing the situation from my POV. I included the fact that that I rectified the situation that same day, paid all associated fees for inspection and registration, and I also mentioned that the officer admitted to running my plate as he was following me down the road. IOW, distracted driver.

The ticket was dismissed.
