What is the difference between the two? Doesn't that mean that you are pretty much admitting guilt either way?

in the NOLO, you are not admitting guilty, but you are saying the evidence is so much that you can not prove yourself innocent.
The only real differnce is that a NOLO plea can not be used in civil court.
so lets say you ran a stop sign and hit a car and causes 40,000 worth of damage, the people are going to sue you.
If you are found guilty of running the stop sign, they can use that guilty as evidence against you in the civil case, if you plead NOLO they can not use the court finding against you.

Guilty means "I did it" and can be used against you in a civil trail. No Contest means "I'm not admitting anything, but I'm not fighting the charges either." This can't be used against you in civil court. You will be found guilt in traffic court.

You didn't ask this question correctly. I believe your talking about no contest vs not guilty. Not guilty is stating you are no guilty and no contest means that you aren't saying anything. Do not plea not guilty unless you have an expert legal defense because if your found guilty your fine is going to skyrocket

It's basically the same. Generally when you plead no contest, the courts are a bit more lenient on you.
