Also, can I plea guilty earlier than my hearing date? Will that
help to reduce ban? Or any consideration?if I can plea early,
what should I do?

Thank you. Looks like typo on my address on charge sheet
(neighbours door number was mentioned). I had received any
communication yet from court yet. I have checked with my
neighbour and no mail to my name yet. Should I print M100 form
and keep it ready?
This forum is really a life saver for me. To be honest. I was
never been this situation before and very nervous being first
timer.

How do you know you have a court hearing, then?

Won't do any harm.

The charge sheet was given to me in person by sergeant when they
asked me to leave the police station

The charge sheet has court hearing date and time.

Round my way, the first appearance date is on the charge sheet
issued at release from custody.

Your first post was a bit of a white lie, you most definitely
had more than a couple of pints and the magistrates will know
this.
I take the offence was committed in England and not Scotland.
In court be polite and courteous to the bench. Always stand when
speaking or being spoken to by the bench.
Be apologetic.
As it's your first time visit any court and see how proceedings
are carried out (your choice). It may help to calm your nerves
for the real thing.

I used to work with a magistrate.
They have sentencing guidelines that they follow but there is an
upper and lower limit for each tariff.
As [member=5998]Mayhem007[/member] says, turn up in court
suitably dressed, show deference to the bench (they love that
sort of obsequiousness) and just say yes no please sir.
If you turn up wearing a "I slept with a virgin last night"
t-shirt and diss the bench then you'll attract the top end of
the tariff.
