Re: What is going to happen?

You claim you have a 'bad' driving record and that is the first clue to your future. Many Courts of the Commonwealth view repeat offenders as dangerous to others and penalize them accordingly. In your case I would hazard a guess that you're looking at $1000 plus in fines, loss of license, and possible suspended jail time depending on how BAD your driving record really is. Without a lawyer, a bad record will get you the suspended jail time.
