How long has she been driving? She has a positive point for every year without a ticket and hers is a 4 point violation. Call and find out how much the fine is, and with the safe driving points she might be back to 0. I doubt her insurance will be affected. The lawyer route seems kind of crazy for such a minor offense, especially since she's admitting guilt, but I don't have any experience with that.
If she goes (and Ryan's description is accurate from the times I've gone), just get in the guilty line, request the judge take it under advisement, pay and get outta there. Either:
The judge is having a nice day and knocks it down. Hooray!
The judge offers DIP class. TORTURE (saves you money, costs you sanity)
You get the full couple hundred $ fine (I'm guessing). Oh well.
