This all sounds a bit confusing to me as well.  However, without having more details of your case I can't speculate further.  While unusual, I have heard of similar occurrences.  Again, you would need to confer with your attorney on all of this.

Possibly after your third DUI arrest (with a revoked license no less) and impending incarceration you might just get the message that drinking a driving don't miss.

Happy 4th. of July!
