What will happen is I miss court tommorow for a DWI?

If I call afterwards and tell them my car broke down or soemthing will they give me a new court date? I really don't want to go tommorow. I want my mom to come with me and she is on vacation until Thurs.
Answers:
You will be convicted and given the maximum sentence. Then they issue a warrant for your arrest.
Your car breaking down is not an excuse. You are supposed to plan ahead so as to not waste the court's time.
Be there. You'll be better off than if you don't.

You'll be a lot better off if you just go and get it over with. Anticipation is often worse than the actual event. You'll feel a billion times better after its over

---

No, that would not work at all. You might get a warrant put out for your arrest if you skip court. Go to court, tell them you need your mom with you, and they might continue it. If you skip it you will make it alot worse

---

they will issue a bench warrant for your arrest. you are better off going and asking for a continuance.

---

You have to go. If you say that your car broke down, they will tell you that an officer could come get you, or to call a cab. If you are grown enough to drive, then be irresponsible enough to drive after you had been drinking, then you can go to court and face the consequences. You don't need your mother to go with you. If you don't show up, you will have extra charges brought up on you for contempt of court.

Don't miss court for that, you took away the police officer's time by doing something foolish, you can sacrifice your own time for a day or so.

---

Try it and see what happens. You will make plenty of friends in jail.

---

Sooner or later, you will go to jail. You might anyway, but it would be better if you went to court. Might be a little cheaper on you. What are you doing drinking and driving anyway? Is your parents related? Or did you have to go to school to get that dumb?

---

You'll be held in contempt for not showing, and lying to the court is not the best thing to do either. Suck it up and go on to court by yourself.

---

No, that would just make it worse and the judge would be mad at you for wasting the courts time. Plus they'll probably send out a cop for an escort if you don't have a ride. You have to face the consequences for your actions and not avoid them.

---

If you can come up with an excuse call hours before your time. If you don't go they will issue a warrant for your arrest. You should just go though, do the I'm I young girl and I'm really sorry act. You'll get a fine.

For a D.W.I.? I strongly suggest that you don't miss court -- you're already f*cked with the DWI (with penalties and the skyrocketing insurance rates, you're looking at well over $3000), and if you miss court, a warrant will be put out for your arrest, and that could really mess things up. You'll go to jail, no question about it, but you could then lose your job, apartment, whatever it may be...
Right now, you can at least argue for your innocence, but if you miss, it will much harder to convince anybody that you were responsible enough to not drink and drive.

---

will issue arrest warrant and pick you up and put in jail

---

Don't be a baby and need your mommy. Just go! If it's the first hearing, all they do is set dates for later and see that you have an attorney. If you are able to pay, ask for a continuance to have time to hire an attorney.

---

Oh nothing will happen just call and leave a message they truely understand because YOU are the only one who has a court date so I sure the DA and The judge would much rather be out playing golf. Just let them know that I gave YOU permission to stay home till mommy gets back they truley understand.

---

If you don't go there will be a warrant for your arrest and you will be picked up, they will not buy any excuse you give them so just show up and take responsibility for what you did ...

---

A warrant will be issued for your arrest, and no, calling them later to make up some lame excuse won't help. Show up. They should appoint an atty for you if you can't afford one and you got yourself into this one. Show up - it will only get much worse if you don't!!
