If you attend the hearing and admit to the court that it was you that was driving the vehicle and that you gave false information to the citing officer, you can be charged with the offense that your sister is charged with as well as giving false information to a police officer. I suggest that you consult with an attorney who practices criminal law to see what is the best way to try and resolve the situation you and your sister are in.
