If you are charged with DUI, reckless driving, open container and running a stop sign you need to speak with an attorney familiar with your local courts and their practices. Many prosecutors will file cases alleging all of these charges and then settle for just the DUI. Depending on your facts this may be your situation maybe not. You should contact a local DUI lawyer to discuss your case, you may have defenses that aren't presented in your question.

Get an attorney immediately. A DUI is serious and you must report this to DMV within 10 days of arrest, requesting a stay, hearing, discovery. The insurance and registration charges can easily be dealt with. Get an attorney
