It is possible, but it will take a lot of work on your part (defensive driving, etc.). I strongly suggest that you hire an attorney who practices in the court where your case is pending. He/she will be able to advise you of the best things to do to help save your license. Good luck.

Most probation terms say you can take prescribed medication. However, since your probation officer is being a jerk, you may need to ask the judge to give you permission.

This invalidate the ticket in any way? I am going back in a week and money is a factor so if there is anyway to get this dropped I need to know.
