If my license was suspended in one state for a DUI but I pay the restitution fees, can my drivers license be reinstated in another state?
Question Details:
I was charged with a DUI in MO and had my license suspended. Currently I am living in AR. My court date is scheduled for next month but the papers state that I have to have a current drivers license when I go for my court hearing. I don't know if I can get my license since I am living in a different state. Do I go by MO or AR law?
DUI / DWI Law Answers
If your current court proceeding deals with a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance in Missouri and your driver's license has been suspended as the result of your arrest, you need to show up at your court hearing in Missouri and show the judge your driver's license which I presume is a license issued by the State of Missouri.
Although it has been suspended by Missouri's Department of Motor Vehicles as the result of your arrest, it is current. I suspect that at the upcoming hearing the court will instruct the bailiff to take in possession your actual driver's license since it has been suspended.
I suggest that you obey the court order concerning your arrest in Missouri.
Good luck.
