License Suspension

• A suspended driver's license results in the temporary loss of driving privileges and is less severe than a license revocation.
  
  

License Revoked

• A revoked driver's license is a formal action to terminate a license, which cannot be renewed or restored.
  
  

Obtaining a New License

• With a suspension, your driving privileges are reinstated after a specified amount of time. With a revoked license, you will need to apply for a new license since the revoked document will not be restored or renewed.
  
  

Mandatory Revocation

• A driver's license will be revoked after a final conviction of manslaughter, or of vehicular homicide due to driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.
  
  

Reasons for Suspension and Revocation

• Some reasons, other than driving under the influence, for having your license suspended or revoked include speeding, reckless driving, failure to pay fines, failure to attend a hearing, allowing a vehicle under your control to be operated in violation of a traffic law, violating driving laws, using another person's license to buy alcohol, using the vehicle to commit a crime, or if the driver is believed to pose a danger to the public.
