The 7 Day DMV Trap
The DMV has the ability to suspend your license if you have been arrested for a DUI. Depending on the number of prior DUI suspensions and whether you took a chemical (breath, blood or urine) test or refused, the DMV can suspend you ability to drive for a time period. You have only 7 days from the date of the notice of the license suspension to request a hearing!
Depending on the circumstances of your arrest, the suspension period starts at 90 days. If you refused any chemical test, the suspension period starts at a minimum of 6 months!
In order to take away your license, the state must have evidence to support these findings:
- There was probable cause for your arrest; and
- Were you placed under arrest; and
- Were you operating a motor vehicle; and
- Did you take a test within 2 hours reading over 0.08 or did you refuse a test.
If the state has evidence to support these findings, they can suspend your license.
