Suspension of License - How To Get a Drivers License Suspended

2/27/2013

 
Listed below are various reasons for a license to be suspended. The suspension is for up to one year unless noted otherwise:

  1. Habitual violator: You receive four moving violations within 12 months or seven within 24 months, arising out of difference incidents.
  2. Injury in an accident: You have been responsible for an accident resulting in death, serious personal injury or serious property damage.
  3. Driving while license suspended: Your licenses has already been suspended and you get caught driving.
  4. Violation of license restriction: This means you must wear corrective lenses while driving and you get caught without them.
  5. Unlawful or fraudulent use of a license: This means lending your license to someone or altering it in any way. More about altering licenses will be discussed below. This is an automatic suspension for one year from the first offense.
  6. Driving while intoxicated: This suspension is for not less than 90 days or more than 365 days for a first offense. The penalty increases for subsequent DWIs.
  7. Refusal to take a breath test: This suspension is for 90 days and, in most cases, cannot be probated.
  8. Being at fault in an accident and failing to pay: If you are at fault in an accident and there is any personal injury or property damage of $1,000 or more and you fail to pay the damages, your license may be suspended until you pay. 
  9. Failure to carry liability insurance: Upon a second conviction of failure to carry liability insurance, your license may be suspended until you get insurance, unless you immediately obtain such insurance and provide proof to the court.
  10. Ignoring an out-of-state ticket: If you receive an out-of-state ticket and ignore it, the odds are that you will receive a notice from the DPS. This notice will suspend your license until the ticket is taken care of.
  11. Felony drug conviction: This suspension is for 180 days.
  12. DWI or Drug Offenses


In most of the above-listed situations, you are entitled to a hearing before your license is revoked. Notice for this is mailed to your license address. You may be granted probation if you are a first time offender. There is no probation if you are suspended under #8 above. Your license can also be suspended for medical reasons, failure to stop and render aid in an accident, and vehicular homicide.
