Traffic commissioner hearing

wear a suit,bow,scrape,doff your hat,grovel,look suitably remorseful,and lie through your teeth telling them anything you think they will want to hear then let the pretentious nimby types think you are suitably humiliated and hope for a stern warning.
thereafter revert back to your normal self and forget the fact you were obliged to demean yourself in front of them for half an hour.
they wont be the slightest bit interested in you or your excuses other than a reason to justify their jobs.
