With respect you are not (really) taking responsbility, you are accepting one part of the penalty for your misdeed , the initial and relatively small financial part, and attempting to evade the other more serious part. Also you have stated openly that you intend to fight the ticket.

Let us please at least be honest here.
If you really have an issue with the NY point system beyond that you are annoyed that you got caught, then I seriously (and uttery without irony) suggest you might consider a career in state or local politics and campaign to have the statutes changed.
In any event ...
NYS DMV - Driver's Manual - Chapter 2
You can reduce your point total by up to four points and save up to ten percent on your auto liability insurance premiums by taking a DMV-approved accident prevention course. However, completion of a point reduction course cannot prevent a mandatory suspension or revocation or be applied as a "credit" against future points. For more information, see the publication Point & Insurance Reduction (C-32A), available from the DMV Internet Office, by request from a DMV Call Center, and at any motor vehicle office.
NYS DMV - (Brochure) The Point and Insurance Reduction Program: Facts for Consumers
Please note that insurance companies may also have point systems of their own. These have no relationship to, and should not be confused with, the DMV point system
So despite your lawbreaking the State of New York offers partial forgiveness in the interest of road safety , I would call that enlightened.
