i have a dui back from october. i recently got my sr-22 but no notice from the dmv that they received my proof of enrollment from the dui program i have to do, so they said i have to wait for that till i go turn in my paperwork. i got pulled over two days ago and got a "driving on a suspended licence" and have to see the judge at the end of the month. what may happen? should i try and turn in the sr-22 into the dmv? does anyone know?

First...you need to turn in the SR-22 as you SHOULD have already done. Insure you maintain a record of the date you turned it in for proof when going before the judge.
Because you drove after being suspended the judge may order:
1) nothing but pay for the ticket of driving suspended
2) move your suspension status to that of revoked status
3) place you on probation
4) any combination of the above three
In my own state the officer making the stop for the suspended or revoked driver may at his discretion have your vehicle towed from the roadway causing you further time and money when having the vehicle recovered by a licensed driver!

It does depend some on what state you were driving with. In SC, driving with a suspended license is seperate from DUI. By that I mean, this will not affect the steps you must take in ref to the DUI. What I would do is attempt to speak to the officer and see if there is any way that he can help you. Explain that you were trying to do the right thing. If the officer doesnt seem to want to help, then I would ask for a jury trial in an attempt to get the trial pushed back. By pushing it back, you will be able to get your DUI sorted and wont have to worry about the DUS (driving under suspension). Once all your paperwork is sorted as far as the DUI and you recieve permission to get you DL, I would then get my DL. Now, with all that done, you are still facing the DUS. By asking for a jury trial you have the ability to face 6 or 12 jurors and explain that you were trying to do the right thing. If you get a good attorney, he can probaly get you a plea before you even go to court. Worst case scenario is, they re-suspend your license for a set amount of time 3 to 12 months. If they do this and as long as your SR 22 is in order, you can then go an apply for limited or probational drivers license which will allow you to drive ONLY to work and/or school.

Well you shouldn't drive if your license is suppended and with the SR-22 pending you might lose the right to ahve a drivers license for a while and the judge will also tell you what else you have to do. And finally when you can get your license again you have to go thru the whole process from taking the tests and taking the driving test. So next time if you don't have a license don't drive it just makes it worse. And also ask a friend to drive you around.

The length of the suspension will be extended, or if the judge has a mind to, he can fine you or he may have you sit in the slam for a few days. You are in a no win situation if you keep making up the rules as you go along. You need to find another mode of transportation or a good friend or family member who is willing to help out. Good luck ! It's not forever, although right now, it may seem that way.

I would highly recommend that you take the sr-22 filing into the dmv as soon as possible and pay any fees. the judge will be alot more understanding if you are trying to take care of business

in case you have get right of entry to to a working laptop or workstation, bypass to the DMV website and look it up. Or, bypass to the information superhighway-website of your community police. they could have it there. i'm somewhat advantageous you get put in penitentiary, yet i don't understand how long. i don't understand the WHY related to your license suspension... yet i won't be able to stand as much as the ought to assert this: in case you had maximum of substantial places to bypass, and choose your vehicle THAT undesirable, you could desire to have been on precise of your sport interior the 1st place and seen that until now you probably did in spite of it replaced into you probably did that brought about your license to be suspended. do no longer compound it now with yet another stupid determination that should land you in penitentiary or having to pay a grip of money in fines for violating the regulation. As to your vehicle being towed, i think of that's a municipality subject... so, la may be distinctive than SF... you could desire to look into that your self. in spite of the case, solid luck.... and purchase a bus bypass.

you pay a big fine and possibly get your license revoked for 5 years and then there is jail time so if you cant face the results dont do the crime and driving on a suspended license is a crime Gorbalizer

If you drive with a suspended license and get caught, they will revoke your license.
