What is the name of your state: Michigan.
I live in Michigan and I've been having issues with keeping my license ever since Michigan instituted the Drivers Responsibility laws, which makes a driver found guilty of certain traffic offenses pay money to the state treasury, along with any fines the court hands out. Anyways my question is about the 7 year statutory limit in order for a second DWLS violation to be ruled a subsequent offense. . My first DWLS occurred on January 30, 2004, and my second occurred on October 17, 2011. The officer that wrote the ticket said that was 7 years between the two violations but it is actually 7 years and 9 months between the violations. I'm going to court to try to clear this old warrant, and I wanted to know if I had a chance of being charged with DWLS 1st offense instead by pointing out that the second offense was 9 months past the 7 years?
