QUESTION
Is there a way I can get a license if I was not able to get one when I was younger since I was in foster care?
Asked on Mar 19th, 2013 on Criminal Law - Colorado
More details to this question:
I am a habitual offender with no DUI. I was not able to get a license when I was younger because I was in foster care and no one allowed me to get it. I have been pulled over several times and that is the reason I am a habitual offender. Is there any way if I finish paying off my fines I can attain my license? I was told I could not get my license until 2015 but I feel like because I was in foster care, I did not have the help that I needed and opportunity to be able to drive legally.

Go talk to the Secretary of State and a lawyer. Get a copy of your driving record. This will help in figuring out if anything can be done.

I don't think the foster care argument will work. You are responsible for your own behavior.

Without looking at your record, I cant say. Your best bet is to contact the license reinstatement division of Department of Licensing and see what they have to say. Based upon what you are told, you may need to employ the services of an attorney.

no exception for that reason that I am aware of no driving until 2015 and then you can get your license - if you had a dui, you could get a license after 1 year other states may allow you to get a DL, but it will not work in Colorado.
