Police officers might follow you out of the courtroom and to the court parking lot if they suspect you are driving. If you don't have a valid license, or your license has been suspended or revoked, ask a friend or relative to drive you, take a cab, or use public transportation to get to court. You will want to make sure that you leave enough time for traffic, parking, and time for getting lost. Arrive at court 15 minutes early. If you are late, you might be convicted by the judge in your absence.
Most courts keep track of cases by numbering the cases on sheets outside the courtroom.
The names are usually listed in alphabetical order, according to the name of the arresting officer. You must know your line number when asking for a continuance. If there are multiple charges, you will have multiple line numbers, one for each charge. Often, the clerk or the judge will make announcements before court. At the last minute they might tell you that a police officer is sick or that the court is switching a police officer's cases to another courtroom.
