More details to this question:
Eighteen year old daughter was stopped for minor traffic violation. They smelled marijuana in her car, searched it, and she was given many tickets. She paid tickets, not telling us, because the officer told her that she would not get in any more trouble but having to pay. Then the state sent a letter. She had her license revoked for 30 days. Will our insurance rates to go up? Can she ever have a job driving for even pizza delivery? She is currently doing that and loved it for a second job. She is a dancer.

The offense called Sale/Possession of a Controlled Substance will appear on her driving record. Yes, it will very likely cause an increase in insurance rates. Yes, it may make it more difficult for her get driving jobs, or even other types of jobs. Drug offenses can also impact a person's ability to obtain federal student loans. There may be a chance to reopen the case and get a deal instead that keeps the offense off of her record. Get help from from an experienced lawyer on this.
