Your Driver’s License

Ten days following your arrest, the Department of Motor Vehicles will seek to suspend your driver’s license for six months. To prevent this from happening, a hearing must be requested within the first ten days following your arrest. The Department will schedule a hearing in order to determine the legality of the suspension. While the hearing is pending, the Department will issue to you a restricted license for “Business Purposes” only. The Department’s definition of “Business Purposes” is as follows:
“Business Purposes only means a driving privilege that is limited to any driving necessary to maintain livelihood, including to and from work, necessary on-the-job driving, driving for educational purposes and driving for church and for medical purposes”
If the Department finds that the suspension was unlawful you will be entitled to receive your license back.

For the first 30 days of the six-month suspension the Department will not allow any driving.
