Just giving in makes you a victim when you have solid defenses. You can miss defenses and say the wrong things if you are not represented by an advocate as your attorney.

I suggest that you may want to retain an attorney to help you fight this ticket. The cost of a defense attorney will probably be considerably less than the probable increase in your automobile liability insurance costs if you were to be convicted of a hit-and-run.
