| California DMV laws What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California DMV laws
I was convicted in 92 in CA, second offense, paid all fines, jail etc, but because I moved overseas, was not able to complete the course. I returned to CA in 97, entered the DUI program again, got my restricted DL again. Once again in 98 I moved back overseas for work, and came back now to CA. I went to DMV, and was told that I could not even get a restricted DL until I completed the 18 month DUI program. I've enrolled in the DUI program.
According to my DMV "Order of Restriction" I received on Jan 18, 1998, failure to complete to Alcohol & Drug Program would result in an 18 monthe DL suspension. I've looked over past DMV laws (I found on [url]http://www.dui-california.com/pdf/other-state-resident-consequences.pdf[/url]) and see that if I could prove that I was an out of state resident for three years and not able to complete the course, I could get my license reinstated. I can prove that. So I should be (or should have been) able to get my DL license back at that time. If (and I have not been able to qualify this) the law changed and required a completion of getting my DL back, can those new laws apply to me because I did not apply to get my DL back at that time I could have?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? |
