There are many reasons for not contesting a charge, a key one being you know you won’t get a fair trial, so you will expend your money and your good name being lied about in court under oath, to no avail.
With the finding of guilt by default only, the court can still sentence as they would have done with a “guilty” plea, but if this is part of a bargain, the sentence would have been pre-agreed just the same.
