Protect Your Driving Privileges in California

While some motorists regard driving as a basic right, the fact is that operating a motor vehicle is a privilege that must be earned and maintained by demonstrating safe and lawful driving. Under certain circumstances, an individual's California driver's license may be suspended or revoked for a specific length of time, depending on the person's driving record or history, and the particular violation(s).

The DMV can suspend your driving privileges for the following reasons:

  • Negligent and / or reckless driving
  • DUI conviction
  • Failure to submit to a breath or chemical test

Driving with a suspended license is considered a misdemeanor offense, which could be penalized in different ways. You could be subject to:

  • Heavy fines
  • Potential jail time
  • Increased insurance premiums
  • In some aggravated circumstances, your driver's license could be completely revoked.
