This is true most everywhere.
You still pay the fine (usually more) plus court costs so you pay more up front. It prevents your insurance from going up more than 30% the next 3-5 years so the savings is there.
As mentioned earlier, Florida has a get out of jail free card for your first offense in the form of traffic school.
