Wear a suit if you have one even if it’s just traffic court. If not, a shirt with a collar and the nicest pants you own. Always show respect in court, it goes a long way and you might get your tickets dropped down. Every question you’re asked, respond yes your honor or no your honor. I also agree with those who said get a lawyer if you can afford it. Most do payment plans.

Not trying to give you misinformation since I don’t know 100%, but I’ve never heard of anyone doing jail time unless they hurt someone or are a habitual offender so I wouldn’t stress about that.
