I had some friends go through this, and they got off with reckless for one and I believe careless for the other- they had different judges and one was more lenient. It was their impression that they would've been out of a license for a year if they hadn't gotten lawyers, and they would've spent nearly as much as the lawyer's fees paying fines.
