Under New York State law, there are many different situations where your license could be suspended or revoked. You are at risk of losing your license if:
There are also other circumstances where your license could be at risk. If your right to drive is in jeopardy, you need to know whether you are facing a suspension or a revocation.
If your license is suspended, it will automatically be reinstated when the period of suspension ends. If your license is revoked, you must apply for a new license and pay all associated fees that go along with getting a new license. The DMV can also deny you a license when you try to reapply for one after your license has been revoked, if the Department determines there is a reason for not allowing you to get your driving privileges back.
If you are facing the suspension or revocation of your license to drive, you must know the process for requesting a hearing and/or for representing yourself and making arguments at the hearing.
In certain circumstances, you must formally request a hearing related to the suspension or revocation of your license if you do not want to lose your right to drive automatically. For example, under New York Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1194(c), you can request a hearing within 15 days of being arraigned if your license is at risk of being lost for refusing to a blood alcohol concentration test.
If you are required to request a hearing within a limited period of time and you fail to make that request, your suspension or revocation could go into effect and you could lose the opportunity to try to argue for why you should keep your right to drive.
An experienced suspended license attorney can assist you in understanding what your rights are to a hearing and can help you to ensure that you go through the required process of requesting a hearing by the deadline. Simon Kabzan can also help you to devise a strategy for the types of arguments that you make at your hearing and the types of information that you present.
Depending upon the reasons for your possible revocation or suspension, there are a number of different approaches that you could take when trying to argue for your right to drive. You could argue that there is insufficient evidence that you committed a violation that justifies the loss of your license or you could argue that the behaviors for which your license is at risk were justified.
You could also try to argue for a hardship license so you do not totally lose your right to drive. If you can prove that you need a license to fulfill work or family obligations, you may be allowed a restricted license to drive only for limited purposes, even though your license would otherwise be temporarily lost due to the driving infractions you have committed.
The right approach is going to depend upon the specific reasons why your license is at risk, the evidence against you, and the types of evidence that you can present to the administrative agency that is determining what should happen to your right to drive.
