Suspended Driver License
A suspended driver license means a driver's privilege to drive a vehicle is temporarily withdrawn. A drivers license may be suspended by either the Department of Motor Vehicles also known as the DMV or the judge or court in connection with a misdemeanor or felony case. Suspension of a driver license may be imposed if a person is a negligent operator of a vehicle, was driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs in a DUI case, has a physical or mental condition or disorder that adversely affects the person's ability to drive a motor vehicle safely, was involved in a car accident and did not have proof of financial responsibility, failed to pay for a citation, failed to appear in court on a traffic citation or failed to pay Family Support. Suspensions can run from 30 days for a first conviction of reckless driving to one year for not taking a chemical test for a DUI.
