Q. What happens next
A: Unfortunately, ASAP has the control here. You are in the position of being at their mercy. Though the program should potentially be tailored to more individual needs as they say they are doing, most people are treated very similar and have to go through the same amount of time for their courses. Most people go to the 12 week course. Good luck
Q. I got a dui over 10 yrs ago never took asap,license are revoked till I get a asap paper, what to do
A: The ladies below are both correct; you will also need to petition the court for a restricted license so you can have ASAP/ignition interlock.
Q. i was never convicted of a DUI it was reduced to a misdemeanor am i still required to take an asap class ?
A: It depends on if the court required you to or if DMV requires you to. The court can tell you that its not required but the DMV is a separate entity and can make you take ASAP related to their requirements. If neither has ordered you to, then you are free to go.
