Just be very upfront about it.  They have your records.  You must be completely honest.  If you try to hide anything, they won't hire you.

Maybe, but I wouldn't bet on it.  There is a better reason it get a continuance, though.  The cop, when he testifies, will be working entirely off his notes from the traffic stop.  Think about how many people the average cop stops for speeding or running a red light in a three month period.  He won't really remember pulling you over.  All you have to do is find a way to shed doubt on his testimony.\n\nFor example, I got a speeding ticket where the cop determined my speed by pacing me.  Pacing requires following at a set distance for a specific amount of time.  In court, all I had to do was use the mathematics of the situation to show that it was doubtful that he followed me for the required distance.  The charge was thrown out.

You  would need to return to court and revisit the judgment, which seems to have been rather harsh. If you live in a different state/jurisdiction now, you could approach the DMV directly. Indeed, you might inquire of the DMV whether the order made was legal when made, and is legal now. Judges cannot invent driving bans: they have to find them in the law to apply.\n\nBut we don't know where you live, do we, so I can't do your research for you. Furthermore, revision of judgments and orders in juvenile cases us jurisdiction-specific, but generally liberal. Expungement or amendment of such a long-term order is not unlikely. It would be best to do this through a lawyer or, failing that, a charity. There are procedural technicalities you could find frustrating; also it's a bad idea to plead your own case if you're dealing with a court and not the DMV.\n\nWhatever you do, don't drive unlicensed (or in your state of conviction without permission from the DMV while licensed elsewhere). To do so is to drive uninsured, which is a further offense. And potentially a tragedy.

If you have deep pockets, take it to court with a lawyer at your side, they can usually get them reduced or expunged.  In most states, you have the option of supervision and the way that works is: if you keep a clean driving record over a pre-set amount of time the violation will not go on your record.  You are usually required to pay the fine, but in the name of court or administration costs.  Sometimes you are required to attend a one day driving school, however I believe that can be done on line.  It sounds like a hassle, I know, but no more than your insurance premiums increasing because of a bad driving record.  See, they get you either way!

Why did you send your license with the payment?  Did they take it when you were cited in the first place?  If your license was suspended, you can't legally drive anywhere.  If it wasn't, you should still have it.  If you get pulled over anywhere without your license, you will receive another citation.  You should probably contact the BMV to find out where your license is and how to get it back.\n\nEdit: What state are you in.  There is no 'bond' for a speeding ticket in any state I've ever driven.  You can't pay a cash bond at the scene either.  It looks to much like a bribe.

usually not, its illegal. \n\nMany states however do not check they rely on you telling them you have a license from another state that is suspended.

You can lose your license for this. You have to appear in court for this one. Hope you have a good reason for that, your tail is hanging in the wind.

Well your first offence will have expired by now, so you wont get more than a few points and maybe a fine.\n\nYou should stop drinking and driving though for your own and the publics sake.

Well, this does not constitute double jeopardy.  Double jeopardy is when you are tried for the same crime twice.  You may be able to appeal the decision, but honestly, on a charge like that, you will probably not win.  My advice to you is to just wait out the six months, and try to find a job that does not require your CDL license in the meantime.  It's not the best solution, but probably the one that is most practical.  Good luck.

i cant speak for how Iowa does it but i can tell you in IL and IN how its done. Depending on the speed on the second ticket there will be a drivers class he would have to take (which is mind numbing to say the least- my brother had to take it) on the third ticket (depending on the time between tickets) you would lose your license till your 21. I know Iowa has a slightly different way of going about it. I would say call your local police department for exactly details since its a serious matter, but my advice to you is to get him to slow down before you have to drive him everywhere for the next 5 years i wish you the best of luck and i hope all turns out well

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.

You'll have to find out if you're driver's license is under suspension.  They usually do that if there's a warrant.  If you don't drive then there are two things that you can do.  1.)  Think.  Why would there be a warrant for your arrest?  If you can think of even one answer then, there probably is.  2.)  Call the damn station but,it's always best to use a public phone outside of the area in which you reside (I have no idea what the hell you did).  If the officer tells you that you'll have to come in for that info, be suspicious.  If you do have a warrant, let them take you in whenever you get bored on the outside.  And, don't sign a f*****g thing until you read it.

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

Yea, twice when I was young and naive thinking I didn't have to pay traffic tickets and they wouldn't do anything.\n\nGot thrown in jail twice for driving on a suspended license. No more than a couple hours each time if memory serves correctly.\n\nWho was the fool those 2 nights??

no it will not be turned into a DUI. there are times when an officer will charge someone with a lesser offense cutting them a break, then the person will go to court and act like a total a** and try to get off scott free. at this time the judge will increase the charges, i have seen this many times in both criminal and traffic, but NEVER an upgrade to DUI. bloodwork and much additional written observation, evidence, handholding ect, is necessary. if they did not already file a warrant or a complaint it is too late now. DUI's are becoming bigger and bigger spank jobs. if you want to "beat" your little pinch, you probably can by hiring a criminal attorney that works in the area that the police patrol, because some of them will have a healthy working relationship with law-enforcement. most of the time in court you have working class and common criminals. i will assume that you were respectful to the officer. the best strategy is for yourself and the attorney to kiss some serious a** and apologize to the officer, say that your behavior was way out of line, was an isolated incident, you have learned from it and that it will never, ever happen again, you are very sorry  with head held low to the ground. either way as a juvy, you are going to be ok but the KEY after any ticket or arrest is humility. they are holding all the cards.

<>1.  I don't know what you mean by "Civil Infraction ticket" but if you were cited for speeding, then that's what you'll be fined for.  The judge can't "change" it into anything else.  2. You probably cannot get out of the ticket for a wrong birthdate, since there is probably sufficient info to track you down.  If the cop wrote "Actual Radar 100" then that's your speed...he didn't give you any "break" like he promised.  You might want to consult a lawyer to help you decide how to deal with this.  Points will most assuredly raise your insurance!\nJust saw your additional Qs:  You can try to schedule for when he is "unavailable" but it might come back to bite you.  If he doesn't show up and you request a hearing, it might get thrown out.  And I'm not sure about the jury trial...it depends on your jurisdiction.

Yes only if you are in their jurisdiction but if it's a Trooper they gotcha.  Usually they'd get another officer there to pull you over in some cases but not a rule.  They are never off duty, technically.
