but they went all out on dwi vasap ,unsuprivised probation-24moths ,and 12 month suspended licsense

So the felony possession charge was dropped? In the majority of jurisdictions, a DUI conviction comes with a suspended license, there's no way around that.

i thought dwi was less of a charge??...i mean when i got there he said dwi is just a fine for first offense

then when they werent processing the felony it jumos up to all that ,and to a DUI instead of dwi?

I don't think there is a single state that will let you keep your license after a dui

I'm in Georgia and they suspend your license here for any *posession* charge, even if you are no where near a car

You got real lucky they dropped the felony and you only got a suspended license, this really couldn't of gone better for you. Contact the probation department about how to get privileges to drive to work or school.

Agreed.

In states where they are not interchangeable, DUI is a lesser charge. So having your DWI reduced to a DUI was a good thing. You were under the influence of a drug? Sometimes cops will call this DWI because they see drugs are more evil than alcohol (though DWI does not have to include a drug).

You should be able to get restricted driving rights to work and/or school within a month or two. And probation has been known to be terminated early if you do everything perfect. Sometimes. In some places. If you are lucky.

Just use this as a learning experience. You either need to quit breaking the law or quit being so reckless so that you are caught. Typically what happens is that the more careful you try and be, the more work it is to regularly break the law, the less you end up doing it, and at the end of the day that's still a better result for society.

HI
In my opinion all type of intoxicated are comes in the probation of DUI law.There is not a major difference between DWI and DUI laws.
The main difference between a DUI and a DWI boils down to the age of the driver. Under Texas law, a person operating a vehicle who is 21 years of age or older and who is legally intoxicated (has a .08 blood or breath alcohol concentration or is impaired by drugs) can be charged with a DWI.
