Your license may be suspended with either a nolo or a guilty. If you plead nolo contendere it could be considered the same as a guilty plea and treated as such. The suspension is for a period of six (6) months. No limited driving permit is available for this period of suspension.

It would be foolish to not retain counsel. A lawyer may be able to negotiate a disposition where you would keep your license.

So you have two choices. Go to court, get a hefty fine and lose your license, or get a lawyer, who may get you a better disposition.
