There are many reasons that a driver’s license could be suspended or revoked in Arizona, and many of these reasons include criminal charges. You could even lose your driving privileges because you racked up too many points due to traffic violations. If you’re caught driving without a license, you could face severe penalties. Keep reading to learn more about license suspension, and how to thoroughly overcome charges related to a revoked driver’s license. You could face license suspension for:
- Failure to appear in court
- Driving recklessly
- Creating a serious or even fatal crash
Your driver’s license could be outright revoked for a conviction of:
- DUI drugs, or multiple DUI convictions
- Any felony involving a car, such as a drive-by shooting
- Grand theft auto
- A hit & run accident
- Perjury at the DMV
If your license has just been confiscated because of a DUI case, you might be able to get a restricted driver’s license in the meantime. With this license, you would also have to install an ignition interlock device. This is a sort of built-in Breathalyzer, and to start the car, you will have to path a breath test every single time. In order to succeed in your application for a restricted license, however, you may urgently need the expertise of a skilled criminal attorney.
How to Reinstate a Suspended License
A driver’s license suspension can only be lifted by your applying for a reinstatement. You can send an application to the DMV to get your driver’s license back. It will cost you at least $10 to do so. If your license was suspended because of a DUI conviction, then it could cost you $50 to reinstate your license.
How to Reinstate a Revoked License
After the allotted period of time has passed, you could send an application for a driver’s license. This would start an investigation into your record, then if everything appears in order, you could get a new license. It will cost you at least $20 to get the license reinstated. You might also have to give proof that you have insurance for your car.
