Legal Question in DUI Law in California
I got caught at age 15 without a permit driving with my lights off and I drank a little wine before. I have to goto court and am wondering if the judge will still let me get my license at normal age. I have good grades and just made a stupid ass mistake. I live in california

You did not make a mistake. You illegally drank alcohol while a minor, drove a car without a license, and endangered yourself and other drivers by not having your lights on. Your probably drove poorly. A minor with a blood alcohol reading of anything above .01 will have their license suspended for a year, so the court will probably push back by a year when you can apply for a license. You might also get 10 days in jail [jun. hall]. The judge will reasonably conclude you are a danger and may add additional time delay to your getting a license.
