What is the name of your state? Massachusetts
I am 18 years old, and I have been put under the new MA Laws for teenage drivers under 18 who are caught with any moving violation. I was given a ticket for speeding, and then I appealed it to be just 58mph in a 50mph on a very busy road that is very close by to the university here (UMass).
I was caught this monday with my suspended license due to an accident a younger girl had done. She hit me while I was getting out of my parking spot in the parking lot at school. Only reason why I was driving was because it was very cold, I missed the bus, and I had no cash on me for a taxi, and unfortunately no family to turn to for a ride to school. I have been progressing my grades up the past 2 months of my suspension for the end of the semester, but I could not miss 2 big tests on the day I drove illegally with my suspended license.
My question is, when I get a court date telling me when I have to show up and then given how much longer my suspension is extended due to driving with a suspended license, is it possible to lower it by volunteering for community service, or any other of volunteer service for the courts for the city i'm in? Would that be a good idea to minimize my sentence?
