Sorry, I can't really help you, as I try and avoid such situations...
All I know, from friend's experiences, is always have a lawyer, and don't "nod off" while the judge is talking to you...
I'm sure somebody here has some valid advice...

Just stick with the guilty plea and take the fine. I don't think you can change your plea after the judge gives out sentencing anyways.

go to court and request a continuance,
which goes like "how do you plead" "your honor i would like to request a continuacne so that i can acquire legal representation."
where im from (chicago area) you can do this 7 times, and they cant say no.
you will save more time and money with a lawyer, than the lawyer costs.

In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

Damn I was wondering why your sister was in court today!
It's ALWAYS best to get an attorney.
Mine kept me out of jail twice.

Yea its just the last couple times my layer didnt do squat. I went up by my self and I got the most minimal fine. Well the minimal was 500 but it was 510. Plus a nother 100 for other taxes or something. I was shitting bricks thinking I was going to loose my license like this one dude I knew. I just plead guilty. Zippoz I will definetly try that sometime.
