I'm in court tomorrow.. What do I wear??

[elephantstone]

Witnessed a road rage/bump and have been called to court tomorrow as a witness. What do i wear? Never been to court before so have no idea if there are general do's and donts. Was going to stick black jeans, shirt and a smart jacket and black smart boots. Will this be ok?

Cheers for the answers! Suits out the questions because i dont have one so will try scrub up as much as possible! Wasn't too fussed about it until tonight, feels abit daunting now!

Gonna go abit earlier than planned and try and get a look in there before it starts. With regards to what im wearing, im sure i will be smarter than most of the buggers that go in there.. Stockport is a st hole and its surrounding areas. All i can do i suppose is tell the truth and try and chill, not like im the guilty one.

You might want to ask the usher for a witness expenses form, so make sure you know mileage etc

Probably cost me a few quid im diesel and few quid parking.. Didnt bother filling in the form for that!

The guy did plead guilty which i was very pleased about as i was bored, hungry and my phone battery was running out! I was also relieved as they had told me 20mins earlier that there was 4 trails before the one i was a witness for and my one would be last as it was an RTA. All in all i think it did make a difference that i attended as they had already had a hearing without me and he pleaded not guilty.

Would i do it again? Yes, but.. Take a phone charger, eat before and arrange for next door to look after my dogs!
