Might sound dumb, but are you sure you have to go to court? I'd re-read it and make sure that paying a fine isn't an option.

Either way, good luck! If you have to go to court, I'm sure it won't be that bad; they probably do a million of those things a day, so I'm sure it will go smoothly.

I requested to go to court to try and reduce or waive the ticket. But still I didn't know the process so I felt anxious that I'd embarass myself and be expected to know certain things about court etiquette or whatever. But it was actually really easy. They cut my ticket in half and gave me a hella extension. The only reason the Judge didn't waive it completely was because the City Council sets the fine for the specific ticket I got, and the Judge was only allowed to reduce it to half.  

That's great! Glad it worked out
