My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of: Florida, Miami-Dade County.

I received a speeding ticket for 41 MPH in a 30 MPH zone. I went to the Prehearing Conference and entered a plea of "Not Guilty" I have the Trial, later next week.

I have a couple of questions.
1) What is the process involved on the day of the trial? What can I expect?
2) The best case scenario is that the Officer won't show up and the case be dismissed. However in the event that the Officer does show up, I wish to simply pay the fine, but not have the point issued against me, what is the legal term for this?

Any other tips I should know?

Thanks,
Chris
