The procedure is to learn the rules, procedures and laws and then use them to your advantage. This includes the rules of evidence.

A traffic ticket only has your signature agreeing to appear and some other "facts" on it. It does not match the summons or complaint requirement in the rules. The only duty you have is the one you create for yourself by signing the ticket agreeing to appear.

Therefore, your duty is to appear, which can be done by filing a "Special Appearance" Motion to Quash/Demurrer which complains that the defendant has not been properly served with a summons and complaint in accordance with the rules. Often, they won't bother with somebody who knows the rules well enough to make this filing.
