Hey buddy, a friend of mine got caught a while a go, well over the limit, 6 month suspension, can't remember what happened with the $ 2500 fine think it was reduced not sure, but any way, he got himself a few character thingies, you know people saying that he's responsible and normally drives like a good little boy or something to that extent and he told em he needs to drive to work, so the suspension was lifted. I don't think they want to destroy your income just take as much of it as they can so I'd go to court and have a chat with da judge, worth a shot.
