Reader’s Question:
If my drivers license was suspended for two DUIs in the state of Michigan can I obtain a drivers license in LA California?

although the state of Michigan is not a member of the DLC your suspended license will be listed in the National Driver Register (NDR) which Los Angeles California will verify before allowing you to get a license in CA.
The Drivers License Compact (DLC) is a reciprocal agreement that many states within the US are members of and requires the member states to forward the licensing state of a driver when he or she is convicted of a certain traffic violation. The licensing state then can know if the violation is put on the individual’s driving record, if points are applied, etc. The National Drivers Register is used by all US states, so both California and Michigan do have access to it.
When applying for a driver’s license in Los Angeles California the California DMV will verify the NDR. This database will then notify the Department of Motor Vehicle to any action against your driver’s license in other state(s). Once they aware that your drivers license is revoked in MI due to the two DUIs you will be unable to receive a CA driver’s license. To obtain a license in California you will first need to take care of your suspension or revocation in Michigan. If you are able to have your drivers license reinstated in MI then CA should be able to see this on your NDR listing and grant you a drivers license.

Reader’s Question:
I’m only 14 years old and I really don’t understand the legalities of my brother’s DUI case here in San Diego, California. He told me that he was given a pink paper or something, what is this?

During your brother’s DUI arrest in California, the police officer has taken away his California driver’s license and gave him a pink form that is entitled “Suspension Order and Temporary License.” This is a form that would serve as your brother’s temporary license and notice that this temporary license would automatically go into suspension in 30 days unless a hearing on the driver’s license is requested with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Your brother would have 10 calendar days to contact the DMV and request for a hearing. Once the hearing is requested, the driver’s license suspension would automatically be postponed pending the outcome of the DMV hearing. Your brother could be able to choose an in-person DMV hearing or a phone hearing. It would always be better that they request a live hearing. This DMV hearing would be very important on your brother’s DUI case because it would give them a preview of his DUI trial.
