There is nothing you can do. You should've thought about that before you drove after drinking

You are on a multi-state list of drivers with suspended licenses. Most states will not issue you a new license until your old state has released you from the suspension. Whether the old state will allow you to take a DUI course out-of-state is up to them.\n\nThere is a lot of stuff on this online. Google <DUI [your old state]> and see what comes up.\n\nWhatever you do, don't take the advice of the guy who said to apply without saying anything. I believe all states ask whether your license is suspended elsewhere. To lie about it opens you up to nasty things.\n\nAccording to MADD, 50-70% of suspended drivers drive anyway. Don't do it -- your insurance is void if you do.

Well since in Canada, here is what you do.\n\nMake sure you plea bargain you do not need a lawyer use the court appointed attorney.  Since you admit you had possession but not for sale, you also were given a promise to appear, so it sounds like you were not arrested and taken to the police station.\nAnd even if so you did not need a judges permission to be bailed out.\n\nHaving no criminal past behaviour the judge for you standing up and taking responsibility for having an illegal substance will give you probation, most likely a peace bond.  The judge will give you a chance to correct your life.  If you are using coke, you have a problem to deal with, weed I can understand, but coke.\n\nYour probation may include not having any illigal substances on your person at all, and seeing a counsellor to assist you in not using coke anymore.  After six months and all conditions met, the judge may exponge your record, but change your life cause using coke gets you nowhere in the long run, have 5 expressos in 5 minutes you will be just as hyper.\n\nHope this helps, and leave the crap alone.\n\nYour probationary period may be for two years as well, but the judge will most likely not jail you, because of your past record.\nMake sure you plea bargain, the crown wants a conviction on record, and will support probation, plus a trial is costly, and most likely will end in the same facts.  Also before plea bargaining find out if the police had the right to search you, this you will need a lawyer and you might need to spend about 500 to 1000 dollars for this.\n\nBut if not challenging the search then go with the first suggestion and make sure there is nothing of a charge to possession with intent to traffic or distribute.  if only possession stick to the first part.

Pay off your other tickets, go to court and ask the judge for a continuance so that you can get your license reinstated. Once you have your reinstated license, return to court and maybe, just maybe the judge will dismiss the charge. Most judges are more interested in helping folks get out of trouble than by adding more fines and fees to keep them in trouble. Whatever you do, DON'T drive again until you get your license back. You won't get a second chance if you get caught twice.

I would suggest getting help at SCORE.  These are retired executives and business owners, you can ask if they have anyone with previous pub experience in whatever country you have chosen. You can set up a face to face appointment or get help via email. And it is a free service, they are all volunteers.\n\nGood Luck

i doubt 1 DUI from that long ago will prevent you from getting the job. employers look for patterns and if that is your only one then you are probably safe. my ex bf got his engeneers lisense and a job with about 5 convictions showing for theft and all kinds of stuff. then again he can sell an ice box to an eskimo, so that may have helped in his favor. however if you have an engeneers certification then any future DUI's can get it revoked and you'll be up s*** creek. so quit drinking and driving.\n\nbtw you should be able to go down to the DMV or state police and have them run a check to see if it is showing on your current lisense. they'll probably charge you about $10, but at least you'll know either way.

Depending on how much the employer wants to spend, they can find out everything you have ever been arrested for, convicted of and or aquitted of( yes all that info. is on your federal record)since you turned 18. Driving records are available in 5 year incriments at any DMV office. If you want to run a check on yourself(it is not free) try www.ussearch.com. I use it to check out all of my daughters boyfriends. Got to be safe nowadays!!

Fighting a DUI in any state is tough. Chat with other people who have been on trial for DUI. There are several factors that make a person guilty or not guilty. Assuming you are the driver and you have had at least one drink with alcohol before driving and you have not been found guilty of DUI in the past. Questions you need answered:  (1) was your blood alcohol content .08 or above. You can, on your own, obtain your BAC results from the agency that charged you. This has a time limit. (2) Are you 21 years of age. If under 21 NO alcohol is allowed BAC of 0.00 is legal. (3) Why were you stopped? There has to be a reason why the officer stopped you. Did you break at least one out of about 1200+ traffic laws in the State of Ca? I feel these are three questions you must have answered before freaking out \n\nDrinking alcohol------------------> Driving------------------> Breaking a traffic law------------------------>getting stopped by police----------------->failing one field sobriety test------------------->arrest-------------->BAC test (breath or blood) evidence--------------->citation issued-------------------->released from arrest---------------> call a lawyer or not…can’t sleep at night….freaking out.\n\nIf you have been charged with DUI and have not gone to trial, do about 3 hours research before hiring a lawyer. Check out case law and case ruling on recent DUI trials in CA. Get stats on sentences for first time offenders. You should see a trend in fines, probation, time served….. In many states there is a max. sentence for a class one misdemeanor (ex. Max 1 year jail, 3 years probation, $2500 fine). This is told to you by the judge at your first court appearance. People freak when they hear this. This is where case law and rulings come in. Usually if found guilty you will (pay a fine, spend one night in jail, have to go to AA meetings, be put on 1 year unsupervised probation, loose driving privileges for 3 months) This is common.   \n\n If the only factor is DUI not involving a prior criminal history, accident, injury, death, damage, extreme DUI, a felony (drugs, weapons….). Get your BAC results. Find out why you were stopped. Get a copy of the Police DUI report. Look over the officer’s narrative (find out how you did on the Field Sobriety Tests). Don’t think you are the first person this has happened to. If the odds are not in you favor (if your at this point there probably not) go into court, plead guilty, take your lumps OR spend $6000 on a lawyer, listen to him tell the judge what a nice person you are, listen to him ask the officer questions he already knows the answer to (impressing you, getting more of your money, looking smart). Get a hug and a “I’m sorry” when found guilty. Get the same sentence you would have gotten if you would have pled guilty. \n\nThe way to beat a DUI is learn from your mistake. You committed a crime. Thank goodness you were stopped before someone was killed. Thank goodness this can be put behind you. Thank goodness you don’t have to live with this the rest of you life. Thank goodness you are worried and want to know how to fight a DUI, it shows that you know you did something wrong. I’m happy you’re a fighter. Keep your head up and come out a winner in this fight. \n\nI’m writing this because when an accident involving the death of an innocent person and a driver who is DUI my heart falls out of me. Lives are ruined on both ends. Lives of good people on both ends are torn apart. What a shame when a night of celebration turns into 20 years behind bars and people taking their last breath.. Think what a lucky person you are. I have seen too many who were unlucky.   \n\nYour Honor, I made a mistake. I haven’t made this same mistake since. I know I used bad judgment. I know this could have turned out to be a lot worse than it did. I’m just happy that I was stopped before more damage was done. I know that I will be punished for my bad judgment

Check to see if there are any attorney's in your area that would talk with you about this or you might check with the court that the ticket went through, or The Department of Public Saftey DL division & ask if maybe he needs to go to driving school or what he needs to do to handle this.....hope this might help....let me know if you have any questions....-R

I believe it might be a state by state decision.  In my state, once the license is gone, it's gone.  The only thing you can get is a state issued ID.

Not usually. I live in Florida and I have gotten a D.U.I. and I did not get jail time, but I got a lot of community service, lots of classes, 1 year of probation, and lots of money. IT WAS HELL, and i will never drink and drive AGAIN. I learned my lesson. Hopefully after it's all finished you'll never do it again either. Good luck.

I have. I used to work two jobs so sleep was a luxury for me, it was about 12:30 am just after midnight I was pulled over and was told that I was drinking, I had just come from work at a warehouse filled with food products but not a drop of alcohol on the premises anywhere, after an illegal search of my car and about five Breathalyzer test (he accused me of holding my breath) he finally let me go.

Do a plea with adjudication  withheld.  They can send you to jail if the Judge desires.  Your license was suspended end of story.  Show the Judge that you are currently working to rectify the DUI charges with the state.  Hence, you can ask for some mercy.  Before you go to Court, get your DUI obligations all cleared up (including community service and alcohol counseling if required) and get your license out of suspension if you can.  Get a hardship license if you still have a suspension waiting period. \n\nReally, do your best to make the Judge happy that you are taking your DUI suspension seriously.\n\nGood Luck and Take Care

Try looking on their state dmv site.  They should be able to send you a copy of your last licence for a small fee.  I live in North Carolina and just recently did the exact same thing when I changed my address.

I had a DUI 18 years ago. I was young and dumb!\nEveryone at the hearing who had an attorney got 6 months probation and those who did not got a year.\nAn attorney can also help your fines costs get lowered as well as helping you not have to serve any jail time if your state requires it.\nIf you work your attorney can also help request a working license. That way you can drive to and from work when your privlages are suspended.

Doesn't matter if they read your rights or not, that will only get you out of any incriminating statements you made... Do you have a record of any kind?  If not try to get a plea deal for probation and have the charges reduced to disorderly conduct.  What area/city/state are you in?  That makes a big difference too.  If you do get infront of the judge explain how you just graduated and weren't thinking right and you know you made some bad decisions and other crap he wants to hear... and dress nicely...  Theoretically you could get jail time and have your license suspended (in PA 6 mo for posession and another 6-12 for underage alcohol...)  but, like I said, if you have a clean sheet, and your look nice and act nice and make sure the judge knows how sorry you were you should get off with a tap on the wrist... a year or two of light probation and a fine... remember though, if you get stuck with posession it follows you for the rest of you life as a drug conviction, so do whatever to get that reduced...
