More details to this question:
I was pulled out for driving without a number place light on. I had drinks and the breathalyzer results show BAC .08%. What if I volunteer to get license suspension, go to DMV classes, and pay the charges?

It is going to depend on the prosecutor's position, the court and your lawyer.

By just paying the fine and taking the classes you will be admitting guilt. You need to talk with a qualified DUI attorney to see if there were errors make by the officers that would prevent a conviction or qualify you for a lesser included offense.

With .08 your chances of reduction are good. Your chances of a dismissal pretrial depend on other facts.

That is a decision for the Judge. Sometimes the States Attorney will object due to political pressure from MADD, if you go to trial they sometimes fold and accept.

Prosecutors have their standard offers they give on these types of cases and will not deviate from them unless there are serious problems with the case. It is always good to first see if the initial stop at the vehicle can be challenged. There are a lot of variables that go into a OWI or DUI cases. A BAC level of .08 is very susceptible to challenge. You will need the assistance of an experienced Michigan OWI attorney as this is a very complex area of the law.

None of that will help you. You need to hire a DUI specialist, and do it soon because you have only 10 days to save your license.
