Considering an EV versus gas-powered for your next ride?\u00a0 We\u2019re fueled up for that debate.\u00a0 But what about when it comes to legal issues? Things like rules and regulations, insurance requirements and road laws.\u00a0 Well, we love to wrap our minds around all that too.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, the subject at hand is a bit of a sticky one.\u00a0 For example, what happens in the state of California if your driver\u2019s license becomes suspended?\u00a0 Sure, no one wants to consider that possibility, but seeing as how it does happen and how it is automotive related, we\u2019re going to dive into the topic a bit.\u00a0 Because just in case this is a situation you\u2019re facing at the moment (or could potentially face in the future), it\u2019s good to know the ins and outs.<\/p>\n<h2>Here&#8217;s the lowdown on driver\u2019s license suspension in the state of California.<\/h2>\n<p>First, let\u2019s look at what a suspension is.\u00a0 In the Sunshine State, either the DMV or the courts have the right to withdraw your driving privileges, prohibiting you from operating any kind of motor vehicle. If your license is suspended, you will not be allowed to drive until your permission is reinstated by the party that originally revoked it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-24308 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_562605300-1-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_562605300-1-800x533.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_562605300-1-1160x773.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_562605300-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_562605300-1-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_562605300-1-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_562605300-1-90x60.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_562605300-1-320x213.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_562605300-1-560x373.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_562605300-1-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_562605300-1-scaled.jpeg 780w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next, we look at some of the reasons a driver\u2019s license could undergo suspension:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Driving without insurance.

(Doesn\u2019t it always depend?!)<\/p>\n<p>In the case of a DUI, generally the first offense will see you serving a minimum of six months off the road, during which time you will need to complete a DUI treatment program.\u00a0 Based on what your blood alcohol level was at the time of your violation, you may face a nine or ten month program requirement before reinstatement will be issued.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>After your suspension period has ended, you will be responsible for paying a $125 reissuance fee to the DMV and file proof of financial responsibility, using the form SR-22.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A note on form SR-22: this form is a document that your insurance company -licensed by the California Department of Insurance &#8211; must file with the DMV proving that you have purchased additional policy coverage.\u00a0 In the event that you are unable to acquire this extra coverage, you can contact the California Department of Insurance for assistance with this issue at: 800.927.HELP.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-24311 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_69793227-1-800x531.jpeg\" alt=\"Adult classroom\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_69793227-1-800x531.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_69793227-1-1160x770.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_69793227-1-1536x1020.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_69793227-1-2048x1360.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_69793227-1-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_69793227-1-90x60.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_69793227-1-320x213.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_69793227-1-560x372.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_69793227-1-1920x1275.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/AdobeStock_69793227-1-scaled.jpeg 780w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/531;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You will also be required to show proof that you attended and completed your DUI treatment program with a certificate of completion (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dmv.ca.gov\/portal\/uploads\/2020\/05\/dl101s.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DL-101<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>If at the time of your violation you were suffering from a mental or physical disorder, you will be asked to provide a Driver Medical Evaluation (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dmv.ca.gov\/portal\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DS-326-R6-2020-AS-WWW.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DS-326<\/a>).

For example, if your driving privileges were revoked for reasons of DUI (and your license is a non-commercial license), you will first have to show proof of enrollment in a DUI treatment program. Then, after a mandatory 30-day suspension, you could be afforded the ability to drive to and from the DUI program as well as to your place of work.<\/p>\n<p>If you do happen qualify for the temporary restricted license, you will have to pay the $125 reissuance fee (or $100 if you were under the age of 21 at the time of the violation).
