Regardless of the reason your driver's license may be suspended or revoked, there are several important things to know:

If your license is at risk for suspension or revocation, you have certain rights. You have the right to request a DMV hearing, to cross-examine the police officers involved, to gather evidence in your defense, and to be represented by a lawyer when presenting your defense. While a DMV hearing is separate from the criminal proceeding for DUI, this administrative hearing can be very important to your criminal case.

While a DUI arrest for driving above the .08 blood alcohol content (BAC) limit is one of the most common situations that result in a DMV hearing, other reasons include:

• Being involved in a traffic accident
• Medical suspension hearings
• Suffering a medical episode while driving
• Causing or being involved in an accident because of a medical condition such as epilepsy
• Accusation of dependency on drugs or narcotics
• Negligent operator suspension for too many points on license

If your driver's license is at risk, you may have a limited time in which to request a hearing with the DMV. To protect your driver's license from suspension or revocation, contact the Law Offices of Timothy B. Rien today for a free initial consultation.
