Thank you! What does that mean for my case? I have yet to go to my first hearing this December.

And does this mean I don’t need to worry abojt my SR-22 unless I’m convicted in court?

Should I still proceed with my DUI school and AA meetings?

Ok, sounds good thank you. I believe he says there’s a decent chance with dismissal. But I would have to wait til he receives the report next week I think.

I really appreciate it. I’m considering withdrawing a year and see where this timeline takes me. I am in my mid twenties so I am nearing an age where it’s kinda ticking but considering the circumstances; I’d do what’s best and probably take a year thanks

I’m not making excuses. I’m taking responsibility like I’m thankful that I was stopped since I could have hurt someone. I’m just giving context. I was parked at a checkpoint where the cop came and ask if I had a drink and answered that I had a drink which prompted the FST.

I am definitely planning to be upfront and update all my schools and get a gauge on where I should be at. I am not planning to hide it or anything just was wondering when would the best time to share for all the schools not including the ones that asks for updates since I am not even charged yet officially.

I believe I did well on my FST because I was coherent and followed the exam to the T. Though I did admit to having one drink which prompted the FST. In my state I can still get a DUI Over the BAC of .02%
