A license suspension means that you cannot drive a motor vehicle legally for either a specified period of time or an open-ended period of time. Of note is that when you are arrested for DWI/DUI, the arresting officer will implement you with a temporary license. That temporary driver’s license is valid for thirty days (from the date of your arrest). As indicated above, you are required to ask for the administrative hearing within thirty days of your arrest otherwise your license will be automatically suspended and you’ll have to wait for your suspension time to be up, pay fees, and fill out paperwork to get your license reinstated. A license revocation means that your license is taken away permanently and can occur when there are multiple DWI/DUI offenses.
