PER CURIAM
Defendant was convicted of driving under the influence of intoxicants, ORS 813.010; resisting arrest, ORS 162.315; and failure to appear, ORS 133.075. Defendant appeals, arguing that the trial court erred in permitting the trial to proceed without first determining whether he knowingly and voluntarily waived his right to counsel. The state acknowledges that the courts have held on numerous occasions that waiver of counsel requires that the difficulties of self-representation and the benefits of being represented by an attorney be made known to a defendant before a waiver will be considered knowing and voluntary. See, e.g., State v. Meyrick, 313 Or 125, 831 P2d 666 (1992). The state further concedes that the record in this case does not reveal that defendant was advised about the dangers of self-representation. We find the state’s concession to be well founded and therefore accept it.
Reversed and remanded for new trial.
