If you want to keep your license from being suspended or restricted once your 30 days of your temporary license are over, then you need to contest the suspension with Driver Control at your initial hearing. After they suspend you (which is an almost certainty), then you (with the help of a lawyer) can petition the circuit court to stay the suspension of your license. Letters from friends and state troopers are irrelevant and will (and should) do you no good at your Driver Control hearing or elsewhere. Keep in mind that if this is a first offense, then you will get a new "license," but it will have a restriction on it which requires you to drive with an interlock (breathalyzer) in your car. So you WILL be able to drive. Your license is not totally taken from you; it's just restricted. With you saying that you have already enrolled in DWI classes and the MADD meeting, it sounds like you've resigned yourself to pleading guilty. The best advice is to call a DWI attorney first so he/she can explain all of the aforementioned issues in greater detail and evaluate your chances of winning your court case and keeping you from being convicted and establishing yourself a criminal record. Remember that a DWI is a crime, not a "traffic ticket."
