You have the option to hire a lawyer or represent yourself if you feel you are not guilty. If you represent yourself, you will let the Court know you want a trial. The Judge may set it for that day or a different day. You will get a chance to ask the officer questions and then, if you want, you will be able to testify or tell your side of the story. The Judge usually gives a verdict right then and there. If you are found guilty, you have a right to appeal. If you are found not guilty, congratulations you are free to go.
