Florida can't give you driving privileges in Michigan if Michigan says you can't drive in Michigan. You need to try to fix whatever is keeping you from having a valid Michigan license. Besides, you probably will not be able to renew the Florida license without clearing your Michigan... View More

He may be facing some jail time for this, and could get his parole (or is it probation?) revoked and have jail or prison time for the violation. He needs to get an experienced traffic/DUI attorney in that area immediately. If he has done any jail time on the previous Driving While Suspended... View More

Second, depending on what the attorney you have consulted with advises: Get a driver's license, or at least a permit.

Third, again, depending on what the attorney you have consulted with advises: Get the... View More

To get your license back you will have to go through a demanding process. You must have long term abstinence from alcohol, and a commitment to lifetime abstinence. That means no drinking or illicit drugs, whatsoever. You must have letters of support from your friends and family that must include... View More

What they have probably scheduled a court date for is a Pre-trial, where you will meet with the prosecuting attorney for the jurisdiction that issued the ticket. You can tell the prosecutor your situation, and they might be willing to give you more time to get the vehicle registered, by either... View More

Call the court tomorrow and ask them what this is about. I hope you have proof of payment from back at the time. Sometimes courts do make mistakes, and they can misfile things. Be very clear that you paid it. Sincerely, Frank B. Ford

It depends on his driving record. If his license is revoked, which would be the case if he has had two convictions for drinking and driving in a seven year period, then his only options are: (1) to be in a sobriety court program, which it sounds like is out of the question, since he's been...

Although it is possible that you might be released early, it is highly unlikely. Given the fact that you had a violation, they will probably want to keep you on the program to make sure you continue to progress. Sincerely, Frank B. Ford

You will be expected to pay any fine on the day of court. You MIGHT be given a little time to pay, but don't count on it. Sincerely, Frank B. Ford

To fully answer this question, his complete Certified driving record would have to be reviewed, but an Impeding Traffic charge, if paid within the period stated on the ticket, will not go onto the driving record and should not have any impact beyond having to pay the fine. Does the ticket say that... View More

You need to get a complete certified copy of your driving record, directly from the Secretary of State ($12), and let an attorney who handles drunk driving cases on a regular basis review it. It is likely that the Temporary Driving Permit that you were issued has been entered onto your driving... View More

At 80 mph, you probably should get the help of an attorney. The ticket will say the number of days in which you must respond. Often, just calling the court is enough to satisfy that particular deadline. You can ask for an Informal Hearing or a Formal Hearing. At an Informal Hearing, there are no... View More

The ticket will say the number of days in which you must respond. Often, just calling the court is enough to satisfy that particular deadline. You can ask for an Informal Hearing or a Formal Hearing.

I wonder if what you have heard of is actually "wet reckless", which is not used in Michigan, but I believe it is used in Ohio and some other states. It is a reduced charge from a drunk driving charge. In Michigan, we simply have "Reckless Driving", which is willful or wanton... View More

Speed Too Fast for Conditions is a Civil Infraction, not a Misdemeanor. If the officer marked the misdemeanor box, it's a mistake. That's not enough to get out of the ticket, but it might give a little leverage in negotiating some kind of deal on the charge. Just to make sure it is a... View More

First, understand that Reckless Driving is a crime, not just a ticket you can go pay. If convicted, it will go onto your criminal history record, as well as your driving record. Most courts will require a court appearance on a Reckless Driving charge. It is a six point violation, which is the... View More

Most, though not all courts, don't take any criminal action (such as holding a person in contempt and issuing a bench warrant) for not paying a civil infraction ticket, which is what speeding charges are. If you paid it only five days late, I doubt very much that anything will happen as a... View More

The cost of an attorney varies depending on a number of factors, such as the city in which the ticket was issued, what the actual charges are, the attorney's level of experience, and their experience in the particular court. If you haven't called a couple of attorneys to see what it... View More

It's not clear what your question is. If one of the charges is Failed to Obtain a Michigan license, then go get one right away, and take it to court on your court date. Getting an attorney to help sort this out for you would be a good idea. Attorneys can often reduce the consequences of a... View More

Well, you should contact the court as soon as possible and find out what the status of the ticket is and what your options are for what to do next. It could be that the court has not yet entered a default and sent that to the Secretary of State, which would then suspend your driver's license.... View More
