Driving with a suspended license...HELP PLEASE!!

I was pulled over for driving with a suspended drivers license a couple weeks ago. I did get a ticket for driving with an expired inspection ticket and paid it late. The officer informed me that since I paid it late I will have to appear in court and face the judge. he seemed pretty cool about it, telling me that because it was suspended for paying an inspection ticket late that its not a big deal and the judge will likely charge me a fine and get me off the hook. I didn't know about the suspension..obviously if I had known i would have made alternate transportatioin arrangements and had my license fixed. Question is, what should I do?!?!?

Make sure that the prosecutor who has been assigned to your case is made well aware of the fact before court commences that you had no notice of the license suspension and that your vehicle inspection is now up to date and that you have the proof thereof awaiting proffer.

And, therefore, in consideration of all of the foregoing, that you are ready to settle the matter as expeditiously as possible.
