I live in Washington State in the county of Spokane and about a week and a half ago I got caught driving without a license. It is supposed to be a gross misdemeanor in the state and punishable by up to 1 year in prison or a $5,000 fine. But there I was reading the RCW's and it said that if you have never had your license suspended or had your driving privileges revoked then for the first time you get caught its a $250 fine and then if you get your license before that then it reduced to a $50 fine. I have never had my license, only a permit from when i was 16 and 17 and i have a record but its also from 2 years ago. I'm 18 and i'm just wondering what could happen to me and what I can do to make the judge go easy on me. Any Advice?
