hey guys I just recently got my first DUI. I know things arent looking 2 good but I need to know what im possibly looking at. Just a brief backround, im 18, live in new york (long island to be more specific). I guess i was peer pressured into taking a drug I shouldnt of and it made me completley pass/black out at the wheel and I hit into a pole. my friend in the car did injur his hand and went to the hospital but he is getting better. The pole was damaged, they had to spend the entire next day fixing it. anyway at the scene the cop arrested me for DUI (driving under the influence of drugs). they breathalized me 2 but i didnt drink so i got .oooo. i spent the night in a holding cell, saw the judge in the morning and im being monitored by a probation officer , sentenced me to some drug and alcohol screening, and gave me another court date in like a month. i am going to speak with a lawyer of mine today. they also suspended my license. also the DA here is really strict about dui/dwi. i do have a possible defense if people have sympathy, I do have chrones disease and can try and argue i was self medicating although i didnt have a prescription for what i took. so all in all i know this is bad, friend hurt his hand, damage to pole, dui charge... what do u guys think i am possibly looking at... and what are my chances of maybe getting a conditionary license just to drive to school and to work, slim and none ?
thx in advance for help
