What is the name of your state? California
Hi, I received a DUI in may and have changed for the better since then. I am eligible for a restricted license once I enrolled into traffic school (currently attending), file for an SR-22 (completed), and pay the $140 DMV fee( done). I have been out of trouble just until recently when I was stopped at a check point on my way to the grocery store. I never drove before this incident because my housemates helped me out with rides but they all moved out. At the time, i didn't even have my restricted license so the officer gave me a ticket for driving with a suspended license. Immediately after that weekend I went to DMV and paid the $140. I was wondering what can i expect. My court date is 8 days after i finish my DUI program. Could they extend my DUI program and the suspension of my license?
Also, I was very negligent in reading the procedures. When i had been stopped in the check point. I told the officer i had a restricted license and thought it would show up in the DMV system because i was told I would have one. I didn't know at the time I had to pay the $140 to DMV first. I thought the $140 was just for the hard copy license and tax. I know driving to the grocery store is not part of the agreement while having a restricted but do you think the judge will be more lenient ? Could this situation help me even a little bit?
I really don't want to make excuses but I'm a full time college student and i learned my mistake by driving under the influence. Receiving a DUI has changed my life and I have stayed away from the things that could violate my probation but i just broke it with this incident. I would gladly do almost anything to get this case dismissed if anything.
thanks.
