David Lee - MR. TICKET - SAYS: If you have any questions about your violation, please feel free to ask about what a conviction would mean for your record, how we will address these charges and what other steps may need to be taken. Below are the cases that can end your driving career. A lot of people are finding out right now - the hard way - the truth of that assertion. We must, if humanly possible, prevent them from reaching your record. I am not lying to you, or trying to scare you.
