and they would be able to tell you the approximate fine and attending court costs. I assume that you are pleading no contest and are not going to fight the ticket.

Dress neatly, be humble, speak only when spoken to or asked a direct question, and if there are any other consequences from this offense other than a misdemeanor traffic offense, get an attorney to represent you (or at least get some solid legal advice as to a proper course of action).

If the judge or magistrate asks if you want to say anything in your own defense, keep it short and sweet, something to the tune of, "Your Honor, what I did was really stupid and it won't happen again. I am sorry."
