if you blow the transmission in your car and your not a mechanic and know nothing about transmissions you wouldn't in a million years ever think to yourself I'm gonna fix it myself. So why then with court, something even more important than a transmission and something you admit you know nothing about would you consider handling it yourself? I can tell you this much, if you go into court yourself and use the lame excuses you came up with you will get about as far as a person who attempts to fix their own transmission and doesn't have a clue what they are doing! Just go in and ask for a either a continuance to allow you additional time to hire an attorney or ask to be interviewed for a court appointed attorney or public defender depending on your particular district. I believe Forsyth County has a Public Defenders office.
