I have been caught more than 3 times for driving without a license, in the past year. I didn't know what was I was getting into because I was only 17 years old. In the meantime I have turned 18 and now I have a scheduled court date for a jury trial. Is there a mandatory jail term for this type of offense in Michigan? I don't want to go to jail, can I do anything to get out of it? Does it matter that I was 17 and not legally an adult for some of the time? Can I just pay the tickets and then not go to jail?

My response:

Do you mean to convince us that during any of those three times you were stopped for no license, that no one ever told you it was against the law? No one ever told you that driving is a privilege, and not a "right"? You never learn. And that's exactly the way the judge is going to see this also. You'll be making little rocks out of big rocks. Bring your toothbrush.
