I can't imagine ever accepting the help, unless the ticket was incurred doing something explicitly for my significant other, unless I was destitute or the pay disparity was so severe that the amount would be meaningful to me but literally meaningless to her.

But it's certainly fine and very respectable to offer - this feels like one of those "couples' dance" situations, where you have to offer, he has to turn it down, then the amiable solution works itself out, if that makes any sense.

A ticket for 3 over is unreal though - I'd consider fighting it. Show up to court and see if the prosecutor isn't willing to make a deal - often they will. Offer to donate the money to charity or perform community service in exchange for dropping the ticket (insurance, points).
