    The driving on a suspended license alone could have gotten you a year in jail. I've witnessed more than a few people receive that. If you only got a fine... count your blessings.

    What they COULD do is put you back in jail for the remained of your time. Plus any new charges. To be honest... much of it depends on the efforts you have made as the people in charge would view it. The right judge on the right day could go light... but appear to be not trying to comply or get a strict judge on the wrong day and they throw the book at you.

    Actually they can put her back in jail for the two full years, unlike parole, they can require the entire full probation time be served as punishment for violation.

    You have not paid, you drove without valid license, and have not went on trash details, ** since you were on Probation, even before you were pregnant, how many hours have you done ?
    Also how many hours are you suppose to do ?

    In Fr_Chucks defense here, he knows this subject better than most people on the site. We only know what we are told, and many times have to read between the lines.
