A move is in order

[lostpleasehelp]

What is the name of your state? Colorado
In Jan of 2003 I was in a car accident. Basiculy another car cut me off and I crashed into things on the side of the road (no other person or car was apart of the crash.) The dick head of a state patrolman wrote me a careless driving causing bodly injury ticket and no proof of insurance (I was in the hospital when he served me with it.) My 1st court date was set for April. I drove the 3 hours and appeard in court. They told me they didn't have my accident report and I had forgotten to bring proof of insurance. So they set the new date for June 6. I for some reason had it set in my head as June 16th. I failed to appear. Once I noticed (inbetween those two dates) I called the courts and set a new court date. She explained that there was a bench warrant out for my arrest so to becareful. I then appered in July (cant remember the exact date.) When I appered the DA told me either I could plea guilty to Careless driving causing injurie or plea not guilty and be arrested for my bench warrant. (Mind you im working full time going to school full time and found out I was newly pregnant.) Well I asked her what would happen with the bench warrant. She told me I would have to wait to see a judge and since it was Friday I would have to wait until Monday. Well the scared me to death cause of my work and school stuff. So I plead guilty to the careless driving ticket.

I went infront of a judge. She asked me to explain the case to her. I told her what had happened. She said something along the lines of.....you cant be charged with bodly injurie because you were the only person involved. Are you sure you want to plea guilty on this (they didnt have my accident flie again so she couldnt prove I was the only person right there.) I asked her if the bench warrant would still be effective. She said yes. So I so ok. She gave me a fine of 300 dollars and 10 days in jail (yes I told her I was pregnant.)
Well I paid the fine that day. This was the end of July and and I had till the first of Oct to turn myself in. Well because I was scared to death because of being pregnant I didnt turn myself in. Me being stupied and 18 i thought it would all go away.

Well fast foward to a month ago. (I know I have a suspened DL and thought I had a warrant.) I got pulled over. I had one of my kids in the suv with me. The county officer was really nice. He checked my record and found I had the suspened DL. He asked the cause of it. I was honest with him. He let me go without any tickets or anything. He said that an arrest warrant did not show up. Just the suspened DL. Well ive been to scared to drive since of course.

My question is we are moving to Nebraska....I would love to get this taken care of but we dont have the money for a lawyer and my husband does't have the ablity to take two weeks off for me to turn myself in and whatever for the jail time.

My question is....Is Nebraska one of the states that can see information from the other states to where I wont be able to get a DL? And is it true this suspened DL will drop off my record in 5-7 years? And if I went into DMV in Nebraska and put I have never had a DL before is that punishable by law if im cought? And if so whats the punishment?

Thank you so much!

No, you will not be able to get a new license in the new state.

Hon, this is going to follow you for the rest of your life. You need to get it taken car of. And, no, being pregnant isn't going to mean a thing.

Unfortunately for you, you didn't hit the car that cut you off. I know it sounds harsh, but if you had hit that car, you might not have received the careless driving ticket. When, instead, you hit something on the side of the road, it became a one-car at fault accident.
