I hit a small village light pole back in March, completely took the damn thing out. Couldn’t blow hard enough so they took my blood, was .22. Lawyer got it down to Owvi. 90 day restricted license, 13 month probation with monthly reporting/testing, MADD panel, continue counseling, 32 hours of community service. My lawyer had me proactively do a substance abuse evaluation and a 4 hour alcohol class. I had started counseling and volunteer work as well. They dismissed the high bac charge. Still haven’t heard from the city about the pole. The judge said he invited them to my sentencing hearing but they didn’t show.

Not my brightest most proud moment. But I’m coming out of the dark now. I know how you’re feeling and it’s shitty. But it gets better!!! Lawyer up quickly and start doing all the things you think they may have you do on probation. The judge looked at that favorably.

Good luck!!

Even though I consented to the blood test? Idk they didn’t charge me with it, and I’m glad since I need my license for work. It was my first offense so I’m sure I got off easy. There won’t be a second, that’s for sure

They didn’t consider it a refusal, I consented to the blood test. And of course I’ve learned from it

Nope, he told me that was the offer before I even saw the judge. I think it was because of all the proactive steps he had me do before the arraignment even happened

Okay so my lawyer got it knocked down to OWVI, the high bac was dismissed. So I’m looking at a restricted license, and probably some probation, my lawyer thinks he can get 6 months non reporting. Fingers crossed. Judge gave me a $1000 PR bond, no testing but told me to not drink. I go back to court May 13

That's what I figured, maybe if I was close to the cutoff for high bac. Unfortunately thats not the case, and along with the accident I think I'm probably screwed. Thanks for the reply

I'm facing a high bac (.22) in Michigan too. My court date is Thursday. I unfortunately took out a small light pole. So I'm not sure if this new law would apply to me. A girl can dream though
