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?

    Actually I’m not young. Im 35 but I drive like an old man so never even get tickets much less had to go to court for anything.

    I’m assuming my chance of going to jail over this is low but I’m still worried about it. Ive never been to jail and that would cause me to miss work and I need my job.

    I don’t know if criminal court would be a better option because I can’t think of something lesser than letting my license expire accidentally.

      You aren’t going to go to jail. This is an administrative ticket, you didn’t even do anything wrong like speed or run a stop sign.

      Like others said. you’re not going to jail. You’ll be ok. You’ll get a fine and maybe points on your license.

      You could possibly ask for your case to be continued, and have time to renew your license.
