It is best to get in touch with an experienced DUI attorney who can guide you through the ALS process. As you mentioned, there is a limited time period to request a hearing.
The answer is probably not because the Judge will want to make sure on the court's record that both you AND your attorney have discussed the plea and that your plea is voluntary.
If the cart is motorized, yes.
Yes, but you should probably be going for simple probation instead.
Email me to discuss.

I am 18 and have my medical marijuana card. I live in the state Washington. My parents claim that if I were to get into an accident since I would have THC in my system the opposing party could sue my family. Keep in mind I never drive under the influence. I am under there car insurance as well. Is... Read more »
A Washington attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you are able to consult with a local attorney for the most accurate state rules, in many jurisdictions, the claimant will usually go after the vehicle operator and the owner. Those two parties are generally... Read more »
I got to duis in wyoming in 2005 and then moved to va and had a valid drivers licence then va issued me a licence then let me have it for a prosment 5 mins then suspended it
Most states respect other states' laws, as long as judgments were rendered with die process. VA issued you a valid DL for 5 minutes. That's actually a much shorter time than I would have guessed, with high speed computers and other means of transmission. Once VA discovered your DL status... Read more »
If charges were filed within one year, then you can still be prosecuted. In most DUI cases, the citations are served on the date of the arrest and then the Defendant has been charged. There is a constitutional right to a speedy trial, but the right must be asserted and any delays caused by the... Read more »
He has insurance I do not. I was not driving the vehicle. I was out of town and he hit it and tried to drive off. Was later arrested under a DUI. I just want my car fixed and idk what to do or who to call.
Contact his insurance company and demand that it repair or replace your car.

I’m a 23 year old from California , I recently violated my court probation. I violated it with a “spectating ticket” For watching an illegal motor vehicle contest.
My original conviction that got me on probation was a dui back at the beginning of 2020.
My record is clean... Read more »
more info is needed
it is always best to have an attorney.
however, if you can't afford one the court will appoint the public defender on any criminal case.
the reason fees are so high is that most cases are not resolved with one appearance.
Covid has caused all... Read more »
I was sleeping parked on the side of the road. No one was hurt, i did get little scratch on the car from scrapping a business gate (very minor). I did comply with the police.

I understand the Michigan supreme court ruled individuals on probation can legally use medical marijuana. I have looked and I cannot find if this ruling would apply to individuals on bond.
There is a court of appeals case that says that you can. Tread carefully though....there can be a difference between what the court of appeals says the law is, and what individual judges determine it to be.
more info would be helpful...........but for most misdemeanors, a lawyer can appear under 977 on behalf of a defendant (not for a domestic violence in Indio)
for a felony, the defendant has to appear
My friend and I are debating a video in which a man in a parking lot, dumping garbage from his car into a dumpster, showed an officer his license. When the officer went to run the license for the man's info, he refused. He said he's a lawyer and knows his rights and the officer may not... Read more »
Yes, you have to show your license, and yes the police officer can run your DL in their system. The statute is below. Pro-tip: don't pick up an arrest trying this theory out.

At my California DMV DUI hearing, my license was revoked for 1 year, due to the fact the officer stated I refused a blood test (though 100% false. Regardless is there any way for me to get a restricted license for work, medical, food, and transporting my children to/from school?
No, a finding of refusal by the DMV results in a one year "hard" suspension, you should have been advised of that possibility when you were offered the test.
My case is currently being pleaded down to DWAI, in New York, that is a traffic violation w/a BAC of .07. Texas does not have an equivalent. My New York attorney is unable to council me on how it will affect the Texas driving privileges.
In both New York and Texas, a DWI can mean that the driver is legally intoxicated, with a blood alcohol content of at least 0.08 percent. Under NY law, DWAI means "driving while ability impaired, either by drugs or, in your case, by ingestion of alcohol which results in a BAC (blood alcohol... Read more »
When was the arrest? Did you have an ALS hearing yet?
A defensive driving course can take points off your license. However, this will not get your DUI-related suspension reduced. Your best bet may be to get a temporary restricted license while you're waiting to be eligible for renewal.
I violated my court probation by “attending a illegal motor vehicle contest” they gave me a ticket for spectating.
My original offense was for a dui. Which occurred at the beginning of 2020.

As part of your probation you were told to "lead a lawful life", this is potentially a probation violation. That being written, you probably have nothing to worry about regarding a probation violation, however you can contact a local criminal defense attorney (or maybe the one you hired... Read more »
