What is the name of your state? I live in Michigan.
I need some help, as I am loosing sleep with worry over this.
I was pulled over for speeding. The cop realized my license was expired. (My bday is May 10, and this happened July 20th.)
I had simply forgotten to renew it and explained to the officer that I have been going through a divorce and had alot on my mind and it just slipped my mind, but that I would go straight to the Secretary of State office and get it renewed.
That wasn't good enough, he let me off with a warning for the speeding, but gave me a ticket for the non-renewed license. Told me it was a misdemeanor and that I would have to go in front of the judge. I got really nervous. I have never been in front of a judge, except for my divorce last week. What are they going to do to me? I read online that they can put me in jail for a misdemeanor. Is this going to happen? I have no record and haven't had a ticket in at least 7 years. Please help me!
I have since gotten my new license in the mail.
