One of the most important issues to address in your case will be your attempt to keep your driving privilege. For most people, this is looked upon as an absolute necessity and often may very well directly relate to your ability to make a living.

The information set out below supplies the Department of Motor Vehicles with the information legally necessary to obtain a hearing. You do not have to supply any other information at the time you make the request in order to receive a hearing date or the stay of your license suspension. Your hearing request however must be made within ten days of the Notice of Suspension. The ten days are calculated by counting the first day as the first day after your arrest. As an example, if you were arrested on the 15th of the month, start counting on the 16th of the month as the first day, and the tenth day would then be the 25th of the month. Local numbers are found below.
