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

Dan

Los Angeles, CA

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.

In this area, you will usually find that you are responsible for providing any information you receive about the case, as well as what you know about the events and how they happened, and any evidence you know. The evidence is key, because certain kinds of evidence can have a big impact on your chances. Here are the kinds of evidence you should consider.

First of all, remember that you have the right to remain silent, so whenever you are pulled over pretty much the only information you have to give is your license, registration, and insurance–and this applies to any case, not just drunk driving. However, if the officer asked you how many beers you had drunk, and you replied with something more than “just one”, then you’re lawyer will have a tough time.

For those who choose not to make this revelation, there may be other ways of guessing you are drunk. For example, your driving can indicate that you aren’t in your right mind, as can your appearance and your voice. They will subject you to a couple of tests, like walking in a line, and in some cases they will give you a blood test when they arrive with you at the station.
