A: When you go to court for your first citation, the judge will review the details of your case, including the fact that you were going 22 miles over the limit in a work zone and following too closely. Be prepared to explain your situation and express your willingness to take responsibility for your actions.

You can ask the judge if attending traffic school is an option for you. Traffic school may help reduce the impact of the ticket on your driving record and possibly lower any fines. Make sure to show your willingness to improve your driving habits.

Depending on the judge's decision, you may have to pay a fine and potentially face other penalties, but showing a positive attitude and a commitment to safer driving can make a difference. Be respectful and honest during your court appearance, and the judge will take that into consideration.
