A: You will need a parent in court with you and, ideally, an attorney to assist. The Judge may agree grant supervision on one or both. Two convictions within 2 years will cause a license suspension when under 21 years old.

A: You will need to appear in court on both tickets and request Court Supervision on both of them. You will be much better off with an attorney by your side when you appear in court on each of these tickets.
