You can go as long as you are back in time to appear for your court date. An alternative would be to retain an attorney make the appearance for you. Most DUI's are filed as misdemeanors and an attorney can appear on your behalf in misdemeanor cases.

You should hire a lawyer, who can appear for you without you having to be present. Plus, the DMV should be contacted before the automatic suspension goes into effect.
