Thanks for the advice. However, what does the law say? If I get an attorney, will they be ABLE, by law to reduce it? The asst. prosecutor let on like there are no bending the rules to a suspended license for reckless drivers. Can I bargain for a restricted license? Is he just playing hard ball? I would be willing to do community service, fines, fees etc... Even a longer resticted sentence. Is that possible?

Okay, let me begin by saying this: you are trying to get out of not a speeding ticket, but a DUI. This is a serious crime! DUIs have led to many deaths -- you're lucky you didn't kill anyone.
Now, first offenders usually get lesser sentences or punishments because they don't have a history of criminal acts or infractions. But because this is a DUI, I am not sure.
Your best bet is to seek counsel (a criminal attorney) to help you defend this properly -- help you get a restricted not suspended license.
