    It is possible. What was your license suspended for last time. If it was alcohol related that could up the chances.

    I would recommend you take your ticket to a lawyer and see what they can do for you.

    Let's not play the guessing game. What was the crime that suspended your license?

    If you want help, you have to be open and honest with us.

    B&P 25662(a) ...

    Any person under the age of 21 years who has any
    alcoholic beverage in his or her possession on any street or highway
    or in any public place or in any place open to the public is guilty
    of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of two hundred fifty
    dollars ($250) or the person shall be required to perform not less
    than 24 hours or more than 32 hours of community service during hours
    when the person is not employed or is not attending school. A second
    or subsequent violation shall be punishable as a misdemeanor and the
    person shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars ($500), or
    required to perform not less than 36 hours or more than 48 hours of
    community service
    during hours when the person is not employed or is
    not attending school, or a combination of fine and community service
    as the court deems just.

    And, CVC 13202.5 ...

    (a) For each conviction of a person for an offense
    specified in subdivision (d), committed while the person was under
    the age of 21 years, but 13 years of age or older, the court shall
    suspend the person's driving privilege for one year
    . If the person
    convicted does not yet have the privilege to drive, the court shall
    order the department to delay issuing the privilege to drive for one
    year subsequent to the time the person becomes legally eligible to
    drive. However, if there is no further conviction for an offense
    specified in subdivision (d) in a 12-month period after the
    conviction, the court, upon petition of the person affected, may
    modify the order imposing the delay of the privilege. For each
    successive offense, the court shall suspend the person's driving
    privilege for those possessing a license or delay the eligibility for
    those not in possession of a license at the time of their conviction
    for one additional year.

    And, to clarify, subsection (d) includes a conviction for B&P 25662(a) ...

    (d) This section applies to violations involving controlled
    substances or alcohol contained in the following provisions:
    (1) Article 7 (commencing with Section 4110) of Chapter 9 of
    Division 2 of, and Sections 25658, 25658.5, 25661, and 25662 of, the
    Business and Professions Code.

    Well, you do seem to be up a creek.

    If convicted, and your license suspended, you can ask for a restricted license, but it likely will not occur until after you have served a short suspension (if at all).
