    Definately go talk to the DA before you get called. As soon as you go into the court room go talk to the DA. My ticket was only 26 over but the DA asked that I have all the consequences of a 26 over ticket except for loosing my liscence. Talk to the DA and tell the judge the truth when he asks for your side and it will really help.

    Also dress nice and if you live with your parents bring them with you. It shows that someone is at home and keeping track of you. Not just letting you run wild. Also the judge can decide not to accept your plea of NOLO and sentence you harsh anyway.

    I have to strongly agree with this comment. Dressing appropriately shows respect for the court and the judge and blah blah. I also agree with the parents part. It will increse the chnaces that the judge won't be as harsh on you.
