Hey there, as it says in the title this is what I’m up against. I live in the Nevada City area, which is the foothills of the Sierra mountains. Where I live is at 3500 feet and is an unincorporated Township. We get pretty violent snow storms every winter. This one we had no power or wifi for a week. You had to drive a few miles to get service and that’s only if the path was weather permitting. There is no public transit or Ubers to get me into town to to take a public transit to and from Work. Even if I could get to public transit. It does not run to nor in the timeframe that I would need to access it.
My lawyer is saying that there’s absolutely nothing they can do. Because I denied a chemical refusal. My hands are tied. This feels impossible, but could be true.
Is there anything I could possibly do? I have passed the point of an appeal. I didn’t realize there was a 15 day period in which you had to file. The only other thing my lawyer mentioned was requesting a writ? What I’m looking for is to obtain a workers license. So that I may commute to and from work. I work six days a week, and I imagine the state of California wants me to pay my taxes. If I don’t have a workers permit, my predicament is that of essentially house arrest. I don’t have any supporting family, I’m not really sure what I would do. I am honestly willing to do anything to obtain a Workers’s license. Community service, a breathalyzer installed in the car-anything.
I was only stopped due to a traffic violation of my headlights being off. No one was hurt, I didn’t hit anything, and my blood alcohol content wasn’t even over the legal limit. I know someone who entered the highway from an exit ramp, totaled their car and was found to have more than just alcohol in their system and they have a drivers license. How can this be? What can I do? I’m grasping at straws and honestly feel like I’d be better in jail than in this predicament for I cannot take care of myself.
Is there someone I can write? Can I appeal to my local county government? Do I apply for this writ thing? My lawyer has honestly been pretty abysmal in the assistance of this case. I will have to figure this out on my own.
Any and all help, suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for reading. Maybe someone out there can give me a grain of hope. I keep saying there’s no way that every person who refuses a chemical test has always been given a restricted drivers license with the option of no workers permit since the law went into action in 1990.
Please help if you can, everything is greatly appreciated.
