    Exclamation Speeding, Suspended License, Possession of Marijuana

    My Lic is suspended in Oregon (I live in Oregon). I was pulled over in Kelso Washington (State) for speeding (90mph. 20 over posted 70) then arrested for suspended lic in Oregon. then poss of marijuana (under 40g) My GF was arrested for letting my drive (she has a valid lic in Or) the state trooper said. I have a court date this wed. What are my options. I DO NOT want to go to jail. Help anyone. I can not afford a lawyer *If you wondering why I was driving, we were on our way to my GF's Cousin's Funeral in Seattle, she started off driving when we left Oregon then broke down emotionally after we got into Washington state. I know the law doesn't care about personal events. but that is why I was driving. Help anyone.

    If you can't afford an attorney, appear at the hearing, plead not guilty to all of the charges, and request that an attorney be appointed to you by the courts (public defender).

    If you qualify, the courts will appoint one to represent you. If your GF is in the same situation, she should do the same.
