Go to your insurance agent and tell him you need an SR-22.

I think it's habitual. Obitual is an interesting freudian slip however.

DWLS, second offense, is 1st degree misdemeanor.
It can be $1000 and a year in jail.

Did they impound your vehicle? It looks like they should have. If they didn't you dodged a big one.

You'd better go get proof of insurance (SR-22) anyhow.
They may figure this out if they haven't yet.

Those are the maximums. That statute is pretty plain on that. What is likely? I have no clue. However, any leniency is strained when you are on a second offense for DWLS and you KNEW you were breaking the law by driving.
