In Maryland, when you plead guilty to the violation charge it becomes part of your driving history. The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) may evaluate points on your drivers license as well.
If you pay the fine and plead guilty, probably the points will stand. When you receive five points on your Maryland license, the licensee is required to attend a point system conference (PSC). If the motorist improvement program is court assigned as part of the PSC its unlikely that the points would be removed or reduced from your driving record.
You might check if there is a point reduction program in Bowie Maryland that permits for you to take defensive or traffic driving school so that you can remove or reduced points from your drivers license.
