Lynn. definitely be ready to go to court, start drafting a letter to the judge, read it & have it proof read by as many people as you can, and most importantly, follow Kelenas' advice, both in public (like this forum) and at court, you have the right to be proven guilty.
However, it is best now also to work out a back-up plan if the the worst happens (and you should have a plan anyway, as your car could stop working on the same week that all of the rental cars on island are checked out - yup, that has happened! - there are also many other reasons why you may not be able to drive but can still do your work...) 30 days is not horrendous, you may have to hire someone (maybe a neighbor) to drive you, you may have to see if you can work out some combination of public transport &/or carpooling (there are also vanpool systems that you may be able to use...)
No matter what, it is good to have alternative plans here on island... as you cannot count on every thing working out as originally planned, all of the time!
And good luck on all of this, as I truly do hope this is all a lesson that is not detrimental to you or your life!
