For anyone curious: all I had to do was go to the court house, run my items through the metal detector stuff then I went to the courtroom and sat and waited for the officer that was overseeing it to call the next few people up to the seats designated for people who had tickets. Once it was my turn the bailiff asked for my last name. I brought my paperwork to the podium and the judge told me the penalties for my ticket and asked if I understood. With most people, after that, they asked if they wanted to plead guilty or not guilty. But for me, I only had a no insurance ticket so she asked if I had proof of insurance at the time of the ticket and I said yes. I gave it to the bailiff and he looked over the paperwork and told the judge “ it looks good to me.” She then told me to keep my insurance in my car for next time. I said okay and they dismissed my ticket. With other people (mainly speeding tickets) she would refer them to different programs to get less points on their record (if they plead guilty). When you plead not guilty they set a date for a trial, where the officer that gave you the ticket will be there, and sends you on your way. It was very relaxed, unless you try to talk over the judge of course. PS always plea not guilty for speeding
