Just got pulled over for an expired inspection sticker (NJ). I'm getting it fixed this Saturday. Is it worth fighting this ticket in court and getting it dismissed or reduced? It's a $130 summons (No points). Hoping this could be one of those Fixit and get dismissed type summons

Might have to spend a little time at the local judge. I'd tell them you went to get it inspected, the place couldn't do it until Saturday and you got pulled over on your way back home. Tell the judge you know you should have got an appointment first but hindsight doesn't excuse your actions. Be sincere and humble and it might get tossed.

You can fight it and as long as youre inspected and have a clean record they likely will drop it down, but you will also likely end up paying at least court cost and whatever time it takes to get it taken care of.

I beat this ticket back when I owned my Honda. Simply gave the judge the name of the busiest private inspection center in my area (make sure it's one that won't even remember the customers that they turn away) told him the same story as mentioned above that I was rescheduled for another day & was pulled over on my way back home, or you can throw him a bone saying that you were on your way to the inspection station when you were pulled over, & that the ticket made you a little upset so you returned home. But if you go with that story you might want to get it inspected no later than today

How many months had your inspection been expired? If you were a week overdue you might get it dismissed. If you're more than a month, just pay the fine.
