A suit is certainly OK but you should be fine with a shirt with a collar (and tuck it in), long pants that aren't denim, and decent shoes.

cut off jeans... preferably stopping right at the thighs. Work boots! a flannel, trucker hat that says git-r-done! lol

j/k! i always wore a long sleeved dress shirt with black dress pants. Went to court 3 times before i turned 18, how nice! 2 speeding tickets and a crash. Not a good way to start.

i'm pretty sure tomorrow is just the appearance where i have to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty. if i plead not guilty, i'll get a court date for contesting it. i don't plan to go to court though... i'm planning to do a trial by declaration (eg. by mail). if i was to go to court 1) there's a REALLY good chance the officer will show up, since he gets paid like $300 overtime 2) i'll probably lose because it's hella intimidating and i'm not the best under such pressure

thanks for the help guys!
