I'm sure you don't want to hear this but you should contact a traffic lawyer in your jurisdiction as soon as possible. Depending on the jurisdiction that you live in, the prosecutor's office may or may not negotiate with dropping points or reducing the ticket, but if they negotiate then your attorney will know best how to negotiate with the prosecutor on your behalf. However, if you live in a jurisdiction like NYC, the traffic violations bureau does NOT negotiate at all. In that case, you would want to take the ticket to trial, and certainly you would want to have the best representation when it comes to conducting a traffic court trial, cross examining the Police Officer, and presenting evidence on your behalf.
I hope this information is helpful.
