DMV and Driver’s License Suspension

What Can You Do?

There are many reasons why the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) suspends a person’s driver’s license. It’s important to note that, yes, under certain circumstances, it will suspend your license — it has that authority. The California DMV suspends over 1 million driver’s licenses every year for several reasons, including, but not limited to, the following:

If it’s related to a mental or physical condition, you may need to be re- evaluated by a health care professional and prove to the DMV that your condition isn't a problem that impedes your driving. If the DMV is attempting to suspend your license due to a DUI, you have the right to a hearing. Working with an experienced DUI defense attorney allows you to respond to the suspension and build a defense. If the DMV threatens to suspend your driver’s license, the first thing to do is get as much information about the suspension as possible. Understand why your license is being suspended and what you need to do to get it reinstated. Working with an attorney will put you in a better position to understand why your license has been suspended and how you can get it back. Keep in mind that it’s crucial to act quickly when your license has been suspended or there’s a threat of suspension. Every case is different, and there are time constraints on different types of hearings. Your attorney must contact the DMV to request a hearing and gather any further information related to the suspension so they can build a defense and get you back on back on the road — legally.

• Issues related to child support • Driving under the influence (DUI)

• Having been in an accident and not reporting that accident • A mental or physical condition that makes it unsafe for a person to drive How do you address a suspension? The DMV may require you to meet certain terms before they reinstate your license. If the suspension is related to child support, for example, it may be a matter of getting current or back on schedule with the support.
