I was pulled over without a drivers license in Michigan, my licenced bf was drinking so I drove. We were pulled over for his plate light being out. The cop suggested to obtain it before court and I did. What will be my punishment?
If you get your license before court the judge can lower your charge to driving without your license on your persons. They may waive the charge completely. It just depends on the judge.
@shannamarie, I’m so sorry! They should’ve dropped everything! You were doing the right thing by not letting your licensed Bf who was drinking drive! That’s so unfair!
They would have arrested you on the spot if they were going to do anything with jail. I had the same thing happen and I got my license before hand and had it waived!
@kaycharwy312, NEVER plead guilty, REGARDLESS of what they have on you. ALWAYS, plead "No contest". You're not admitting guilt but not denying they may have proof either.
This happened to my husband. He got pulled over without a license and he got his license b4 his court date and the judge waved it. He also said there was a lady there that got a ticket for the same thing at the same time he did but didn’t get her license and the judge made her pay fees. Hopefully the judge will just waive the fees for you
@shannamarie, Then yea you will probably get off with just a warning and get the ticket waived, especially if you just explain to the judge your man was drinking and couldn’t drive
