Generally speaking, what you heard is not true. Most states communicate with one another about suspensions and revocations.

False. Most states are in a compact where they respect each other's laws and decisions. This means that any other state will not issue you a license unless your home state would.

No, that's not true. States share information about traffic convictions and license suspensions/revocations, so if your license is revoked in 1 state, it's revoked in all states.

No, you cannot legally do that as the states reciprocate regarding suspensions and revocations. Get and attorney to determine your actual options.
