What is the charge for driving without a license first offense in Michigan

A finer example of extenuating circumstances I have never heard. You will need to respond to the summons. Advise that you contest the charges. Write an explanation and ask that the court dismiss the case. They might. Go to court.  You will have appointed counsel. Typically, you meet with the prosecutor before appearing in court. Advise the prosecutor of the facts and ask that you be let off for extenuating circumstances. Tell them you would never have done this except for the unusual circumstances. If they refuse, say, OK, let's take this before the judge.  Bring lots of friends and pet lovers to be in court to support you. When your case is called, have everyone stand up so the court knows that the public cares about the case. After you step forward, have everyone sit down. Even on Zoom (have people holding their pets on camera!), the judge will see that this case matters to the community. Judges are elected. Politely tell the judge, I would never have done this except for the circumstances and ask that charges be dismissed.   good luck!
