It all took place one fine Sunday evening before dusk in California. I was driving along minding my own business when all of a sudden an animal darted out in front of me, my natural instinct was to swirve to avoid hitting it. The next thing I know I had lost control of my truck, then SLAM! I had sideswiped a residental block wall, and landed in a roadside drainage ditch. My truck had flipped sideways, which had put the passanger's side fully horizontal with the ditch, I finally came to a stop when I smashed head on into a telephone pole.
When my unplanned, un-choreographed amatuer stunt demo. went down I did not have a valid CA. drivers license,(which was suspended at the time) no insurance, or current registration. This was not my first time driving a car with no current insurance.
What a ride. Now mind you this took place three months ago, I was given a court date via U.S. postal service. When I showed up to court last Friday, I was not on the docket. I was sent to every department pertaining to my court case. I was finally sent to the local District Attorney's office to see if they had any information on my case. I wanted to have proof that I had showen up at court on the date specified on my letter that I had recieved prior to this date. In fact I wanted to double and triple verify that my presense was true. After receiving a new court date by the District Attorney's office, the Dirstrict Attorney's office had stamped a piece of paper verify and giving me proof of my attendance.
By the way I had also learned that day that I had a prior charge of Failture to appear on a past charge for driving a vehicle with no insurance.
How long do they have to press charges? What kind of punishment am I looking at? I don't want to get bit in the behind ten months from now and find myself in silver bracelets. What to do? What to do?
thanks, Huckleberry
