Suspended Licenses
Although you may think that it is your right to drive a vehicle, it is in fact a privilege that the United States government can grant or revoke at any time. If you commit a crime or cannot satisfy your rights to drive a vehicle in any other way, your license will most likely be suspended. In the case of a suspended license, you are forbidden to drive a vehicle for a certain period of time established by the court. After the suspension period, you will have the right to demand the restoration of your license. This will also include the payment of recovery fees in addition to the fines or penalties that were paid to cover the appointments that initially led to the suspension.
Licenses revoked
If your license is revoked, you must request a new license after the expiration of the revocation period. After the recall period, you must complete the entire licensing process, including driving exams and written exams. This includes payment of fees accompanying the new license.
