Here's another kernel of advice.

When you go to court and you're sitting down waiting for your case, have a seat belt on and make a big production of unbuckling it when your name is called. Take it up to the bench and show His/Her Honor you know how to use it and swear to gawdallmighty you'll never, ever forget to use it again.

You'll get big laughs and a dismissal or you'll have to pay triple.

Either or.
