Also taking the Virginia Drivers Safety Program before your court date will help immensly. You can do either a full 8 hour class on saturday or two 4 hours on a tuesday and thursday. Its cake and really does help.

Also if you go, dress nice and be very respectful. Judges hate nothing more than people coming in looks like slobs and being disrespectful to them or anyone else working for the courts.
