It's clear some parts of the court order were not complied with...the community service. The part regarding the school needs to be checked into to see if the school has the documents to prove you DID complete that. If not, the judge will probably make you do it all over. If you completed the school, you should have turned that in to the DMV, to get your licence reinstated. Ultimitely you have to have the case called and a court appearance is neccessary. Call a lawyer NOW, and talk it over with him/her to get a feeling for that court and that particular judge regarding the possibility of jail.Call me if you have any other questions..I wish you well.....David Wallin
