Imagine enjoying a peaceful ride on your bicycle when all of the sudden, you're tumbling on the ground after colliding with a car. Whether the car accidentally hit you or you ran into the vehicle, it is important to act quickly and appropriately in the minutes, hours and days after the accident. If you ever find yourself in a bicycle collision with a car or truck, here is what you should do next:

Under federal law, possession of any amount of marijuana can result in fines and jail time. A first offense is punishable by a fine of $1,000 and up to a year in jail. A second offense can get you a mandatory 15-day sentence that can be extended up to two years. After that, 90 days to three years of jail time and a $5,000 fine is the punishment you can expect for possessing marijuana.

If you are charged with a drug-related offense, you will likely want to hire a lawyer to defend you. While many people think a lawyer's job is to prove your innocence, you may wonder what your lawyer will do if you are guilty of a charge. If you decide to plead guilty or it is obvious to your lawyer that you will be found guilty, there are still several ways that your lawyer can help you.
