Is There A Limit To How Long The Courts Can Take To Schedule A Pre-Trail

I was stopped back in March 2002 by the Highway Patrol claiming that I was being stopped to receive a Speeding warning (Which I wasn't as per a witness in the car with me).. then the tropper claimed after following me for 2 1/2 miles in 40 to 50 mile per gusts of wind I had crossed the centerline once in my SUV ( High Profile Vehicle)... I wasn't offered the portable breath test and kept getting blown arounf with the gusts of wind in 30 degree weather. Anyway, I refused the breat test.. had the initial hearing in March 2002 and nothing since then.

Is there a time limit to when a case has to be heard?? I'm on a vey restrictive to work permit and would like to get some resolve to clear me of the charges.

The court has 90 days from the date of the arraingment to take the case to trial. If the trial is not held within that time period, you can ask to have the charges dismissed.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!
