Services Suspension or Revocation? There is a Difference

Suspension or Revocation? There is a Difference

Serious or multiple traffic violations may result in a license suspension or revocation. Suspension or revocation of a license is a consequence wherein operating a motor vehicle is illegal. License holders that have had their license revoked or suspended will lose their driving privileges.

License or Driving Privilege Suspension

When a driver’s license is suspended, he or she will lose the privilege to drive a motor vehicle for a specified period of time. The driver’s license will be returned unless a violation has occurred during the suspension.

Definite suspension orders will:

  • Last a set period of time
  • Require a suspension termination fee

Definite suspensions can occur due to:

  • Excessive traffic tickets (within a specified amount of time)
  • Lack of state-required liability insurance
  • Violation of junior driver rules
  • Driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol

The second type of suspension is: indefinite suspension order. When a driver has an indefinite suspension, he or she will have their driving privileges reinstated when certain conditions are met. Reasons for indefinite suspension, include:

  • Failure to pay child support
  • Failure to obtain liability insurance
  • Failure to pay a traffic ticket or fine
  • Failure to report a motor vehicle accident report

Medical suspensions are also possible. Drivers who are not medically capable of operating a motor vehicle may have their license suspended until a doctor medically clears them for driving.

Driver’s License Revocation

The Department of Motor Vehicles may revoke your license. When a license is revoked, a driver will lose their license indefinitely. A revoked license is a termination of a driver’s license, but this is not an indefinite revocation.

A license that is revoked will have a time limit.

Following the expiry of the revocation period, drivers will need to:

  1. Request approval from the DMW to obtain a new license
  2. Take all of the necessary tests to receive licensing in the state
  3. Pay a reapplication fee

Application may be denied. Drivers that reapply for a license may have to pay a civil penalty as well as fees before driving privileges are given.

Revoked licenses can be a result of driving without insurance, being involved in an accident that resulted in a fatality and being a hazard on the road. Drivers that have received several DUI/DWIs may fall within this category if they’re repeat offenders.
