I missed my court date for no insurance because I honestly thought it was on the 17th, but appearently it was on the 14th. I just happened to call them because the officer told me to a couple days before the date and thats how I found out I missed it. She gave me another court date and told me if I didn't show up they would issue a warrent for my arrest!! I've never been in trouble and other than this and the no seatbelt ticket I don't have any other tickets. I'm kinda freaking out. Is this bad?

An order to show cause requires to to come to court and present reasons for non-compliance with a court order. You should appear on this date with a good reason why you missed the first date. I forgot is not a good reason. Neither is I mistook the date. If that's all you can come up with tell the judge that and be very, very sorry. You'll probably just get a lecture.
