There are 2 ways your license could become suspended or revoked. First, if you were arrested for DUI and were offered a breath or blood test and the results were a .08 or higher, or you refused to submit to a breath or blood test, the Department of Licensing will administratively suspend or revoke your license. You are entitled to a hearing to contest the proposed suspension or revocation, but the request must be made within 20 days of the date of your arrest and you must pay the requisite fee. Second, your license to drive would be suspended or revoked if you are convicted of DUI. The length of suspension or revocation depends on the result of your breath/blood test and your prior DUI history. In either case, you may obtain an ignition interlock license to drive during a period of suspension or revocation. You should speak to an experienced DUI defense attorney.
