what might the outcome be?
i was stopped by a sheriff on my way to work at night for a unsafe lane change. he gave me a warning,but my auto was impounded due to va code 18.2.272. paid all fines, completed my asap classes, and was given my license back to me by mail from courts. its been since may 5,2007 since i've driven or drank. Like i told the sheriff i just bought they car,got insurance 3weeks ago.it was the first time driving since then.i made an appointment to have the interlock system put on it,so before i was to get this installed i wanted my autoshop i go to fix some engine problems the car had. that is only reason why i was driving it to my work that day.so i could have someone pick it up for me to take to the shop and leave it to get fix. i live 20 mins from work.it is hard for me to get ride back and forth but manage,lots of spent everyday. 2 ASAP offices that i go through have been giving me misinformation on this situation one say this way is fine the other says this. they are confusing me.. and i have court next for this. i need some kind of answer or prayer, b/c i've come to far now.i cant even get a job in my field of work b/c of the valid license (telecom). i'm not able to company vechicle .what can do or say when i see the judge about mi

Re: what might the outcome be?
You're apparently charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor offense of driving in violation of your restricted driving privilege. Va. Code Sec. 18.2-272 (This a crime and not merely a traffic infraction.)
Since Clas 1 misdemeanors are jailable offenses, you should have an attorney representing you, if at all possible. And, if you cannot afford to hire one on your own, then you should ask the court to appoint one for you to represent you in this pending criminal matter.
