In my singular experience several years ago, the traffic court judge was very lenient.

I qualified for the good driving waiver, but he was waiving other people's tickets who didn't qualify either...including one woman who had gotten another ticket within the year and was clocked doing something like 95 in a 65.

So I think it's worth a shot for OP. Be repentant and ask for the waiver in traffic court despite the lack of full history. I bet they'll be fine.
