If your court date is changed it's likely because the officer has written several tickets, or will be in the court that day for another case.  If so, don't count on the automatic dismissal.  Ask that it be moved four days later (better chance the cop will be off duty).

Bring your paperwork, including the ticket, but be careful not to show it to anyone but the court, if asked.  I've seen cops show up unprepared, ask the driver if he has the ticket.

Having a lawyer will usually get it knocked down.  If you go without a lawyer, consider asking one who just won a case if he has time for you, and how much it would cost.  Preferably one you've seen talking to the clerk and or court officers. Likely means the lawyer is there often, and friendly with court workers.

Most lawyers have several cases moved to the same date for efficiency, so lawyers sit and wait between cases.  Actually, some court houses will put aside a day just for similar cases.  Larger cities have courts just for traffic violations.
