The same thing as an adult.
Once you accept the responsiblity for controlling a motor vehicle, you are expected to control the motor vehicle. Look up the difference between "mistake" and "infraction". When you drive for real, so are the laws, and so are the injuries sustained when a motor vehicle crash occurs. It becomes far less of an "accident" when you are tailgating someone and speeding. Dress neatly, be polite and don't make stupid excuses. This isn't the judge's first rodeo.
