What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
I'm really not quite sure what to do right now - perhaps someone can possibly suggest something.
My husband's license was suspended in 2004 after he was a brainiac and thought he could evade a NC speeding ticket. He wasn't aware of the suspension (nor was I) at the time, and was caught driving on a suspended license - got a 1 year suspension and a fine. He paid his fine to PA, but we have not been able to pay the NC fine as of yet. on Nov of 2005, he was to get his license back, provided he'd pay his NC fine and pay a restoration fee. We were going to pay it this month since we couldn't afford it last month, but meanwhile, as luck has it, he got pulled over twice - once because his tag on his car had issues (a state officer was bored - followed him and ran his tag - came up dead - was a PennDOT error, but too late for him) and about 10 days later because again, he wasn't very smart, and drove a bit faster than he should've. The extent of his driving is back and forth to work, and once to help me out because I was too ill to drive. I've been sick for the past several days and have not been able to drive him back and forth to work, so he's been doing it on his own.
He has now two pending citations for driving on a suspended license (plus he's on probation) so he is facing issues with his PO, but more importantly, he is facing some major issues, like a possible 18 months in jail, i believe? He is going to plead not guilty, and hope for the best, as I was honestly too ill to handle driving him, and with the weather right now (ice, etc) he is a bit reluctant to walk several miles to work, etc. I know the obvious here - don't drive, but right now he's looking at some major issues. Can anyone advise as to what exactly were are looking at? I guess this would technically be considered his 3rd, even though he wasn't even aware on his first offense. (we never received paperwork - we moved at the same time they mailed paperwork, I believe, and for whatever reason, the forwarding did not work right for us) Any suggestions on what can be done to more importantly avoid jailtime? I don't think there is avoiding a prolonged suspension, but this was out of our hands. He wasn't joyriding - he was going to work, and I was just too ill to take him. Any advice is hugely appreciated. At the time he was originally suspended, he couldn't even petition for his bread and butter work license because of the outstanding fines, and what made it worse was NC was not willing to work with him - he was to pay it in full - no payment arrangements accepted. If we could have done payments, we'd have been fine, but I could not afford to come up with the amount of his fine in full. Please help.
