I got a DUI in 2004 but I guess the paperwork got messsed up and they never officially revoked my license. Now, SIX YEARS LATER, I get a letter from the DMV saying my license is suspended. Its going to gently caress me out a new job. Is there anything I can do? Is there any sort of statute of limitation (maybe not the right term but gently caress)? State is GA if it matters.

Incredulous Red posted:What does your sentencing paperwork say? I think its the same form I would've gotten if they'd sent it when they were supposed to. The gist of it is this: quote:You are hereby notified that your license and/or privelege to drive to operate any motor vehicle in the State of Georgia is suspended as shown herein. tremendous dicks fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Mar 8, 2010 |

The DDS (Dept. of Driver Safety) rules are arcane and you'll need a specialist to get you through them. Make sure he/she has experience with the DDS administrative rules, not just the regular criminal law statutes regarding DUI prosecutions. There may be a 'work, church, and school' exception, so ask about that, too. I talked to my lawyer today and he basically told me to go to the DMV, and that he didn't really deal with that stuff. I'm going to the state office tomorrow to see if anything can be done but I'm not very optimistic about it.I think I'm pretty much screwed and will definitely not be getting the job (driving is a very necessary part of it). A little backstory on what happened that I probably should've posted in my first post, but didn't because I was freaking out: When I got my DUI I refused a breathalizer test. In GA that's an automatic immediate license suspension, but we challenged it and the arresting officer didn't show up in court so it was thrown out. Not the DUI, just the refusal to blow charge - this was 2 months before I went to court for the actual DUI charge. Because it was thrown out and the decision was reversed I got a letter from the DMV saying they reversed their decision to revoke my license. I think the DMV hosed up and thought this decision was for the actual DUI charge so they never took my license. I didn't even realize this until I was making sure I had everything together to get my license back (which they never officially took from me) after the 4 months minimum suspension. Maybe I should've said something then, but I didn't. Then, a month or so ago, I applied for a new job. I made it to the 3rd phase of the hiring process which is a background investigation. I'm guessing somehow the inquiry they made alerted the DMV to their mistake and they decided to finally take my license. Goddamn.
