Driving while revoked after revocation was over?

[Eekamouse]

And whatever you do: Seek an alternative form of transportation.

Yeah, right. This OP is going to continue to break the law by driving on his revoked license and having no insurance for as long as he can get away with it. People like him are scary.

Yeah, I started fresh, living on my own with a kid and wife, and still being young so I'm really poor. I was doing fine until the D.U.I. incident and my life just went down hill with bills. So, being a safe driver, I don't know why but I thought I wouldn't need insurance because I could barely afford living on my own. I just got a new job that pays decent so I want to avoid jail time at all cost. Will doing the assessment before court day help at all? Will telling the judge that I absolutely thought that I was off revocation help?How can I make the judge more lenient on the sentence? Life is hard with fines and bills... Thanks again for any feedback.

Welcome to the world of "being a grown-up".

You're not helping yourself here. If anything you're proving that you need a more severe, not lenient, judge.

My younger brother went tshrew the same situation as you, and no doing the assessment a few days prior to going to court did not help win any points with the judge. As far as his defense, well he had none, he thought he could get slack from the officers, if he was ever pulled over, but he was wrong. The only thing he could do to make things easier on himself was to go in, plea guilty, and take probation, and have further restrictions on his privalge to drive. Perhaps you should save yourself, and the state some time, and just admit to your wrong doing and hope for the best. These judges are no fools, they know when they are being played, and they hate it. Depending on your prior record/charges you may not go to jail, but if your constantly screwing up, ya might need a good kick in the behind to remind you that you must respect the law. Good luck man.

it's not that i want to keep breaking and trying to get away. I have to drive to work and make up money and pay the fees to reinstate my license back and be back on track. I live by myself, i don't have anyone to drive me. Am i suppose to walk arm full of groceries for miles? I can't help but have to drive.

Well ... yeah, actually. You're expected to do that exact thing.

Just as many of us here have had to do.

 

[SKVang]

alright so, breaking it down, im screwed, nothing i can do and just suck it up?

You can tell the corrections officers that when you're sitting in a jail cell. I'm sure they will release you right away.

Your wife should drive you.
