Except it's not a bribe. It's entirely above-board, the money they're paying is a fine. They're not "getting out of a ticket", they're paying the ticket.
Except they also don't get points on their license, or whatever is analogous here.
They paid what the jury could have imposed and now they're skipping right ahead to facing the judge, they're actually saving the system some time and money.
The trial is still going to happen.
