QUESTION
How should I keep my license from being suspended?
Asked on Aug 29th, 2012 on Criminal Law - New York
More details to this question:
I am 20 years old and have a provisional license. I have gotten three speeding tickets two of which I paid for and one of which I went to court for and got probation for. However, being on a provisional license, they want to suspend my license and I have a court date to appeal that. I need answers fast. I pay for my own school, car payments, car insurance, groceries, and phone bill and need my car to get from school to work as well as to my side jobs that help pay for everything.

Promise to drive the speed limit in the future and offer to give them some collateral to guarantee that.

They can suspend your license based on your driving record.

You are going to have to get a hearing with the DMV.

It is too late! You knew the terms of your probation, but chose to violate them. You will need a friend to drive you around, take a bus or get a taxi.

Your need for a license is irrelevant to DMV. Everyone needs their license. You have to convince DMV that suspension is not yet appropriate. DMV rules say that suspension occurs based upon a point system, with suspension ordered if you get 4 points in one year, 6 points in two years, or 8 points in three years. One point per ticket.

Did you get an attorney for your appeal? If not why not? This question would involve sitting down and finding out about all of your driving record andthen seeing what could be done.

You're not making sense. How can a speeding ticket lead to probation? You must have been charged with some kind of misdemeanor, like reckless driving.

You have gotten three tickets in a bunch. Motor vehicle wants to slow you down before you kill yourself or someone else. You are going to lose your license. Work on minimizing how long you are suspended. Get an experienced lawyer.

Hard to say with the limited info. Ask the licensing board for a restricted license of driving to from and in the course of school, work, healthcare and any other court ordered service plans.

The DMV will likely act. The best way to avoid loss is citing all mitigating reasons. Sadly when under 21 I think DMV will act.
