If you commit specific infractions in the state of Michigan, you can lose your right to drive for a period of time. A driver’s license suspension can occur in DUI cases, as well as reckless driving, joyriding, fleeing the scene, and other vehicle related cases.
If your license is suspended, you will not be able to drive for a set period of time and will have to pay a mandatory reinstatement fee when your suspension ends. If your license is revoked, you will completely lose your ability to drive and will have to reapply for a driver’s license after one year. If you have already had your license revoked previously, you will lose your driving privileges for 5 years before having to reapply for a new license.
In the state of Michigan, your case could be subject to mandatory driver’s license suspension if you are convicted of OWI, fleeing the scene, child endangerment, or a commercial driver’s license offense. Mandatory driver’s license suspension also applies to all drug crime cases, however, including possession of marijuana, possession of cocaine, and other possession or distribution narcotics charges. If you are underage, your license can be suspended for any crime involving alcohol, including alcohol possession. Contact our firm to fight against the suspension or revocation of your license, or visit the following pages for more information:
In the state of Michigan, specific convictions for traffic offenses will result in points on your driver’s license that can accumulate and lead to suspension of your license. Open alcohol containers, speeding, careless driving, refusal to take a blood or breath test, OWI, Super Drunk DUI, and other charges can result in between two and six points on your record. If you accumulate twelve or more points within a two year period, you can lose your right to operate a motor vehicle.
You can reduce the number of points on your record by completing a state approved driver improvement course within 60 days of an infraction. The Michigan Basic Driver Improvement Course (BDIC) can be an effective way to avoid license suspension after a traffic violation. Contact our firm to find out more about the point system and how it might apply in your case.
Additionally, your driving record is available to you if you need to check how many points are on your license and if any outstanding violations or tickets apply to your license. If you need to check your driver’s license status or have questions about driver’s license points after a criminal conviction, there are resources online that can help you.
