Caught Driving Without a License, Twice

[enemy614]

I'm 17, I'm from Ohio. One night my friend woke me up and asked me to take him home so I did cause it was cold and raining and as soon as I pulled onto the main road my headlight went out and a state trooper caught me without a license and sent me home and I had to go to court and everything. They ended up extending my time to finish my drivers ed. They were going to lessen the penalty if I could finish drivers ed before the next court date. I've been there a couple times and they gave me quite a bit of time because we've been short on funds. But then I made a stupid mistake and let my friends pressure me into giving them a ride out of town and I got lost coming back and got pulled over again. Well now theres no way I can finish drivers ed before going to court this Friday and I've never gotten charged for the first offense yet so I have no idea what to expect or if I'll need an attorney. I need help quick.

If you want to have a license any time in the imminent future, yes, I suggest you consult a lawyer. Unfortunately, it's hard to defend against driving without a license - you either have one or you don't, and you didn't. Twice.
