You may depending on how much those tickets were for and in addition to your DWI. It shows reckless behavior and together the judge may decide this is the better route. If you have an attorney, you should speak to counsel immediately and see what can be done so that your judge is not suprised with this information by the prosecution and your attorney can work with the prosecution to plea this down or plea out.
