Find License If SuspendedSometimes it seems that the your state's DMV safety think its their responsibility is to suspend as many driver's licenses as possible. And of course, once a driver's license is suspended, it seems that you need an act of Congress to get it reinstated. Therefore, it is your job to find if your license is suspended. There are any number of reasons why your driver's license could be suspended and you must find out immediately. Allowing your insurance to lapse, failure to appear to pay a parking ticket, convictions of a license suspension traffic offense, conviction of a drug offense, and the list goes on. Many people, either through ignorance or because of necessity, drive while their licenses are in a state of suspension. Let's look at the laws pertaining to license suspensions. Keep in mind, this has nothing to do with driving with an Habitual Violator revocation, which is a felony. In this section we are going to deal with misdemeanor license suspensions only. When Does a Suspension Start In most cases, a suspension starts as soon as you are convicted of a traffic offense that calls for a license suspension. You are usually served with notice of suspension at the time of conviction. This is one way to find if your license is suspended. Other times your suspension starts without you ever receiving notice. For example, if you did not appear in traffic court, or if your insurance lapsed, your license might be suspended without you knowing. There is a statutory defense to suspensions for failure to appear and for lapsed insurance. An arresting officer must verify that you received actual notice of the suspension and put it on the citation. If he does not, one of our attorneys should be able to win your case. Pay Attention to This Now, if you have not paid attention to anything else we have written, pay attention to this. If you are convicted of a license suspension traffic violation, the suspension starts at the time of the conviction. However, you don't get credit for any suspension until you turn in your driver's license. What happens if you've lost your driver's license and can't turn it in? Your attorney can make sure the proper affidavit is filed in a timely manner. As you can see, it is possible to serve out your suspension time and apply for reinstatement only to find out that you received no credit for that time because you didn't turn in your driver's license. A knowledgeable attorney can insure this situation does not occur. Even if it has, contact one of our DUI lawyers as soon as you find if your license is suspended to see if we can help.
