Think not only of the time and resources this would take in the courts (read: more taxpayer money) but also how many more thousands of people would have the pleasure of receiving a juror summons. Do you really think that twelve of your fellow citizens should lose (at least) a day of their lives because you contested a speeding ticket? If anything, that would make me more likely to convict.
Now, I think municipalities issuing things like jaywalking tickets (like LA) is akin to armed robbery and I find the practice disgusting but I still don't think that jury trials in such cases are the solution.
