A license suspension is different from a revocation because the suspension period is much shorter.
If your license has been suspended, the court could order the suspension time to be anywhere from three to 18 months.
After the suspension period comes to an end, you can try to get the license reinstated.
In order to have a license reinstated, you will have to have a hearing with an officer from Operator Control.
Reinstatement also involves a hefty fee, which is much greater if the suspension was due to a DUI.
If you or a loved one has been accused of DUI and faces a license suspension, this could significantly alter your driving freedoms.
You deserve a chance to fight charges, especially if you believe you have been wrongfully accused.
