Got his license suspended before he even got the chance to get it. He was 17 or 18. Got pulled over and was high on weed. So, suspension of license for a DUI. He got pulled over a few weeks ago, and just got the citation and court date in the mail. PA laws sat 60-90 days mandatory in jail. He is now 26. First time getting pulled over since then. He accidentally went over the dotted line no speeding. So then we were looking at his papers and the cop for one, put the wrong county, and the wrong color of his uncles car. Any help with his case?
Nope. Best you can hope for in this case is to convince (beg?) the cop to change the traffic charge from the 1543(b)(1) ticket to something that carries no jail time or additional license suspension. Something like a 1501, which just carries a small fine with no points.
Better still, he should make some effort to get his license even if it will immediately be suspended. Start running that clock so that he can legally drive before he gets to retirement age, and it'll also show the cop that he's trying to get things straightened out. Best of luck to your buddy.
