Need Advice - Court date

RAS has a court date on Thursday for a ticket he received last November when he was still using. The ticket was for driving with a suspended license due to non-payment of his monthly surcharges.
He's been clean since January and I paid off the whole surcharge bill in Jan after which they restored his license. He now has a job that requires driving and if he loses his license again, he will be totally screwed.
He's going without a lawyer and I'm considering going with him, since I had been paying the surcharges and never really told him that I stopped paying it. Don't know if that excuse will fly. Although, they should have a record that the payment bills were returned to them unopened.
He says if they try to take his license, he can postpone the hearing to get a lawyer, but I'm doubtful he can really do that. He's bringing character reference letters from his sponsor and guys at his Oxford House.
Is there anything else we should do? Appreciate any advice.
