What can I do so I don't go to jail?

David B Harrison
Answered by attorney David B Harrison (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Miller & Harrison, LLC
If you fully comply with the conditions of your probation then you won't be refered back to court and so there would be no chance of you going to jail.  I am a little unclear on why you had that questions since you did not imply that anyone was threatening you with jail, but hopefully that answers the question.

Could I be arrested for DUI if I was sleeping in my car? How?

Answered by attorney Nathaniel D Shafer
DUI/DWI lawyer at Natty Shafer Law
Yes, absolutely you can fight it. Utah law states that you can be convicted of a DUI if you are in "actual physical control" of a car. There are many facts that could lead to a jury concluding that you were not in control, such as not having the keys in the ignition, or being in the back seat, or whatever. Talk to a lawyer about your case and fight the charge. Many juries would be sympathetic to someone trying to do the right thing.

What are the penalties for diving without a license and speeding, while on a DUI diversion?

Gary A. Russell
Answered by attorney Gary A. Russell (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Clos, Russell & Wirth, P.C.
Driving without a license is a misdemeanor offense punishable by up to 93 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $500.00. It will impose a like term suspension of your driver's license, so if your license had been suspended for the DUI, or other offense, the new conviction would add a similar length of suspension to your term. There is also a driver responsibility fee of $500.00 per year for two years for a conviction. The speeding ticket is a civil infraction that carries 4 points and a fine. However, at that speed the prosecutor could amend the charge to careless or reckless driving. As for your diversion program, any conviction of a crime could jeopardize your entering a diversion program. Of course that is up to the prosecutor or the judge in that case.
