ALWAYS show up, try to explain your record is clean and any circumstances, and hope for the best.
If you want you can file for a continuance, delays it a month and gives you a second chance to get a cop no show... cops only show up like once a month for court though, so they rarely miss... unless they move or retire.
and the insurance costs are MUCH higher over the long term than the actual fines.
