QUESTION
Can I legally get pulled over for no reason if I drive the same car that I got the DUI with, while in the 6 month suspension period?

More details to this question:
I have a valid driver license from Florida and from California. I got convicted of a DUI in California, so my California driver’s license got suspended. I got a 6 month suspension on my California driver license. I recently checked my Florida driver’s license online, and it still says it’s valid. Will my FL driver license protect me if I do get pulled over? Once the 6 month suspension is over, can I just keep using my Florida driver license in California? It'll save me money from getting my license again in California and having to file a sr-22. Also, I travel often, so I'd rather just use my Florida driver’s license since I usually don't stay in California for more than a couple weeks every 6 months.

It is possible that the police will check with CA DMV to see if you have ended your suspension. You will never get your CA license back until you attend DUI school and get insurance. It is also a crime in CA to have 2 drivers licenses. You were supposed to surrender your FL license to get a CA license.

Nope. It won't protect you one bit.
