Driving With A Suspended Driver’s License

A client’s driver’s license can be suspended for a variety of reasons. A driving under the influence conviction can cause a license to be suspended or revoked; too many points (tickets) within a certain amount of time can cause a license to be suspended; failure to appear at court on a traffic ticket or failure to pay a fine on a traffic ticket can cause a person’s license to be suspended.

In order for the prosecution to prove this case, they must prove that the driver had Notice of the suspension. This is difficult because the DMV many times fails to send suspension letters certified so there is no proof the client ever received the letter.
