I WOULD GET AN ATTORNEY AND PLEAD NOT GUILTY! YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE THAT ON YOUR RECORD. YOUR INSURANCE WOULD GO THROUGH THE ROOF. I'M A COP, TRUST ME!! GET A WELL KNOWN ATTORNEY THAT USUALLY WORKS IN THAT COURT BRANCH WHERE YOUR HEARING IS. YOU PROBABLY CAN PLEA OUT ON A LESS SERIOUS CHARGE LIKE ILLEGAL SQEELING OF TIRES. NEVER KNOW, BUT DON'T EVER PLEAD GUILTY ESPECIALLY WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY'S ADVICE. HOPE THIS HELPS.

without a doubt get an attorney, i've been in this situation before and like honboy said an attorney that practices at that court often would be the best choice. Also when you get to court try to chap it up w/ the officer that gave you the ticket b/c if the prosecutor talks to him and the cop says ya hes alright you can let him off your in good standing. I once talked to a cop before court started (he had given two tickets, two weeks apart), I told him this and he was like, "sorry about that, let me see what i can do" really helped me out
Good luck
