Hopefully, the blood test will be even lower than the breath test. These cases can result in a non-alcohol (non-dui type)plea, but they take some work.

Expungement is not available for a conviction of DUI. It stays on your driving record forever as a misdemeanor conviction. If you were convicted in a District Court Jury trial, an appeal of right must be filed within 21 days after entry of the Judgment of Conviction/sentence or 21 days following an order denying a motion for a new trial, judgment notwithstanding the verdict, or a motion for rehearing or reconsideration if the motion was filed within the original 21 day period allowed. If those time limits have passed the only remedy available is a motion for leave to appeal to the circuit court and that must be filed within 6 months after the judgment and must be accompanied by an affidavit explaining the delay. If that has elapsed there is no remedy available to you.

Driving without a license is a misdemeanor offense punishable by up to 93 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $500.00. It will impose a like term suspension of your driver's license, so if your license had been suspended for the DUI, or other offense, the new conviction would add a similar length of suspension to your term. There is also a driver responsibility fee of $500.00 per year for two years for a conviction. The speeding ticket is a civil infraction that carries 4 points and a fine. However, at that speed the prosecutor could amend the charge to careless or reckless driving. As for your diversion program, any conviction of a crime could jeopardize your entering a diversion program. Of course that is up to the prosecutor or the judge in that case.
