You have a right to view the judgment against you, and when the judge or clerk closed the case he had to indicate precisely for what period of time you are not permitted to drive. That's the first place you should look for a definitive answer.

The DMV is administrative -- the courts are judicial -- two different branches of govt.
The DMV can suspend your license. The court can order you not to drive. Two different and independent situations.
Check with the clerk of the court to see if the judge's order is still in effect -- if it is, and if you drive anyway -- that's grounds for contempt of court.
Independent of what the DMV does.

The judge ordered you not to drive for a lawful reason, this doesn't mean that your license is suspended or restricted. If you get a ticket for something, and you are in violation of this court order, then you are in a heap of trouble.

Well even tho the registry (as a rule) are the only ones that can actually suspend or revoke your right to operate I would say if the Judge has ordered you NOT to drive, then don't drive. Keep in mind if you get busted for anything at all and end up in front of him and there is a driving offence, you're in deep chit. OH coragraph above is 100% correct in his answer. He said what I was tryin to say.

I'm no genius but I would guess that you suck at driving. And you probably have not improved in the manner in which you drive or live your life. You probably drove to the DMV. You probably have a lot of tickets or drove drunk. Hey, man. For everyone else's sake, don't drive until you know where the brake is. In your head. Oh by the way. Good Luck if you have changed.

How long did the judge suspend your license? Who represented you? It would be better to have them inquire than to risk driving when you know you have been ordered not to. What did you do?

Judges are Gods. If they tell you to to play the skin flute in an open, packed courtroom, you must obey or face jail. The length of time of which is also at their discretion.

You were ordered not to drive, you do NOT drive. There is a reason a Judge ordered you not to drive and frankly I do not want to be the one you kill while testing the system.

I would call the local police dept. The DMV is notoriously slow, and they could have not received the suspension as of yet.
Call the police dept and see what is in their computer. That is the info they use when they pull you over - what is in their database.
