Not knowing anything but what has been written here, I have to say that you need to seriously consider that the answers you've gotten here are likely mild to the opinion that the court will hold.

That you will lose your job is not something that is guaranteed to sway a court. After all it was you that racked up the tickets and accidents - if work was that important to you, you'd have been more careful. Just because public transport would be difficult isn't enough.

I agree with Baker. If you want to come out of this interview successful, you've got to change your whole mindset. They get people giving them sob stories every day and its very likely they've learnt to spot the fakers. And frankly your joking remark about the work clothes says to me that you aren't taking this as seriously as you need to.

Don't want to get on your case, but you asked for advice. I think you need to start taking some responsibility for things.
