You are entitled to drive as long as your license is valid. You are innocent until proven guilty. So, the answer is YES.

Unless you have been informed that your license has been revoked, you should still be able to drive.

Yes you can drive unless the court or DMV takes your license. The court is not supposed to call you. if you have been cited to court you should have a pink ticket with a court date on it. you better check with the clerk of court. I have never known the court to call anybody and I don't think you will be the first.

It is legal for you to drive until the court hearing, at which time the judge may impose some type of restriction on your license (depending on the circumstances of the accident) but until you receive notification in the mail otherwise, your driving privileges are still in place.

The fact you were in an accident alone does not prevent you from driving as long as your license was not suspended or revoked by the DMV.
