You can still do that if you lose the trial by declaration since you would request a trial de novo which wipes your previous judge's judgement and lets you go in front of a new judge. But usually the way 99% of people beat tickets is to just do the trial by declaration by mail since I think most cops hate doing that paperwork while they actually get paid extra to go to court.
