I was in a vehicle accident back in January. I was coming up to a red light and slid on black ice. My van started fish-tailing and started to spin into the right lane, which is when an SUV came up behind me. We ollided at the fron and my van turned and then we collided again in the back. His car went into a ditch and I pulled over. The cop came, took the report, Gave me a ticket for "not drivng for conditons to prevent and accident" or in form of words like that. He told me I could drive on my ticket and sent me on my way. I went to court last week and I started crying. The judge decided to set up a trial for me where the other driver would be present. She made em aware that if he didn't show then they usually throw out the case. I became calm knowing i might be ok, even if he did show up.
However, earlier today I was shocked to get a call from my insurance company. They stated that they did a sandard random check and it showed that my license was suspended. I called the secritary of state and they said it was suspended in September due to a medical report i submitted for aproval that was denied. I explained that I was not notified of this. They said to get my license re-instated i just get a new medical report and fax it to them.
So that is taken care of; However I cam concerned for when I go back to court...
What will happen to me? The cop let me go without even mentione any suspended license, and even told me I could drive on the ticket!
Will it even be brought up because of that? If so what can happen to me? I hope I wont go to jail. I have no criminal record and I had no idea my license was suspended to begin with. Will there be a large fine? I was told before I found out about my license that I would probably get no more than a $250.00 fine for the original ticket; However with this new information I am lost. I heard because of the fact that this is my first accident and i have no criminal record they will just fine me and it will be like a slap on the wrist...
Anyone know what will happen or what I should do?
