It differs from state to state. If you really want to know what to do, find someone who knows about YOUR STATE to talk to. I am in MD and my advise to someone here would be to go. Actually, it would be to tr for a postponement of your original date and then go and hope the cop doesn't show. (They do have to be there in MD or you can move for a dismissal based on their absence) If he does then ask for a PBJ (probation before judgement) or plead guilty with a reason and hope for court costs and no points. And pay attention to the judge's demeaonr before you are called. If he is throwing the book at everyone, you may want to hedge your bets and withdraw your case, if he is listening and being lenient and you have a good record, it is worth the try.
