Driving After Revocation
I was 16 in Oct 07 when got a DWI.
I thought that I would get my license
back after 6 months just like
everyone else that gets a DWI. Last
month I got a parking ticket at my
school. My school found out my
license was revoked. They called two
officers who set me up so when I left
school, two officers would leave at
the same time going opposite
directions, that way no matter where
I went there would be someone
there to pull me over.
Before I gave the officer my license
and insurance he told me he knew
my license was revoked because the
school called him. I now have an
arraignment hearing on my 18th
birthday next week for driving after
revocation. Is there any way I can
get around this? Especially since I
was never informed that in order to
get my license back I have to retake
30 hours of drivers education, 6
hours of behind the wheel, get my
permit again and pay the
reinstatement fee and DWI test.
What is the worst punishment that I
could get for driving after revocation?
Will I get charged as a minor because
I was 17 when I got pulled over, or
an adult because it'll be my 18th
birthday?
