RIGHT TO A LAWYER

I understand that I have the right to be represented by a lawyer throughout the proceedings. I understand that the

Court will appoint a free lawyer for me if I cannot afford to hire a lawyer, but at the end of the case I may be asked to pay all or part of the cost of that lawyer, if I can afford to. I understand that there are dangers and disadvantages to giving up my right to a lawyer and that it is almost always unwise to represent myself

23103 under 23103.5 – Reckless driving involving alcohol or drugs, or both. I understand that this means that if, in the next ten years, I am arrested for driving under the influence or driving when my blood-alcohol level was .08 percent or higher, and I am convicted of that charge, I will be sentenced under the increased penalties the law provides for subsequent convictions.
