1. make sure you are even able to re-schedule your court date. i've been able to do it in fulton county before, but last time i tried, fayette co. said that they don't re-sched court dates. so just make sure.

2. i have heard both stories, but, i was told by a solicitor in court that if you plead no-lo, the points will NOT count, but the ticket will still be on your record.
