I dont think it really matters how well you dress in this situation. The license/insurance mix up will get dropped. But the rest of it is going to stick. If you were still on school property you might have been able to swing the whole no eye protection but since you weren't you are pretty much SOL.

i'm going to wear my sunday's best to court, and explain that i'm an INLA/Psych major. for some reason that always eases up sticky situations. INLA is my teaching degree, and psychology is my minor. so hopefully they don't think i'm just another college student. we'll see. i really do appreciate all the good advice guys.

Personal Experience: I've won 3 speeding tickets, flashing red light, rolling stop, following too close and a no seat belt.

Make sure to distinguish personal arguments from a legally defensive argument. (i.e. "I have a clean driving record, my parent(s) were sick, college student with 4.0 gpa, or anything like that will not hold up in court). The Judge and/or court will always side with the officer unless you have a strong case. Your in college and should do the same you do in any class, Research!

College English, hard research, common sense and a bit of luck. The Penal Code book can be your best friend when fighting tickets. Working the difference from the written law and the spirit of the law can save your *** too.
Good Luck!

I always get the citation codes and look them up in the state statutes. Check and see if there is any wording that can be interpreted in your favor. If so I present that interpretation to the judge in a humble yet this is how I understand it format. Always look your best, it doesnt matter if your guilty or not, the judge often tends to give lighter punishments to those who are polite and well dressed/mannered. Remember the judge has the ability to toss anything he wants really. Traffic court tends to simply be about making money anyways. If you know your stuck on most those charges tell the judge i'm guilty, can explain the situation? and then at the end ask for as easy as a punishment as possible. It doesnt hurt to ask.
