How do I... Do court? I didn't realize my license was expired and got pulled over. Now I have court tomorrow. - eviltoast

I know the obvious of being polite and respectful. do I show up early like an airport? Do I just show the guard my ticket? Anything I should know or be aware of?

    if you didn’t go to jail, not that big of a deal. get it fixed, go to court and explain. mistakes happen, you didn’t run anyone over. you might get a fine, shit happens.

    it’s public too, go to your local court during traffic court, you can sit in. usually early morning, listen to other cases and see how it works, then you’ll have a better idea.

      get it fixed

      I’ve heard of people having luck going in with their renewed license. I can’t attest to it personally, and of course your mileage may vary

        this is what I’d do. especially if it was an honest mistake, fix it, show you’re not a problem, move on.
