Silverthorne, CO DUI and DWAI Law Firms & Lawyers

The criminal case - which is what was dismissed - and the DMV/ driver's license issues are two different things, handled by two different authorities, and can come to two different decisions. If you did not request a hearing on the revocation of your driver's license, or if you requested a hearing and lost the hearing, then the dismissal of the case in court does not impact that. Therefore you must do what DMV is requiring in order to legally drive.  A lawyer coudl analyze your drivintg record and the facts of your situatiopn to give more specific advise, if you made an appointmtne and sat down with a lawyer. 

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.
