What happens if my license is suspended?
If your Driver License is suspended, that means you temporarily lose your driving privileges, but not forever. You will not be able to drive for a period of time, anywhere from 30 days to a few years.[156] After your period of suspension has passed, your license should be automatically reinstated.
However, if your license is suspended because of a physical or mental condition or disorder that affects your ability to drive, the suspension will be permanent if that condition becomes permanent.[157]
A restricted license allows you to drive during a period of suspension, but only for specific purposes that a judge has permitted, such as to attend work, school, or a court-ordered program (for example, a DUI class).[158]
