Hi all! Ten years ago my brother-in-law was arrested, jailed and had his license revoked for DUI. The judge ordered him to attend AA and go through the 12 steps before his license would be reinstated. He did NOT do this. This was in Michigan. He is 40 years old. Three months ago he moved in with his parents in Arizona and he is trying to get a driver's license. My mother-in-law is visiting (remember me from the bankruptcy forum guys??and my "property" in Michigan??) and we are discussing his problem and she said since it's been 10 years since his arrest that all of his points should have dropped off his license from Michigan. I agreed (to make it easier on myself) but then said to her: "What about the judge ordering him to attend AA before he can get his license back?" She said: "Oh, no, he doesn't have to do that. The statute of limitations stops that!" In an honest attempt at helping, I would like to send her back to Arizona Monday with some good advice. If you ignore a judge's order, are you going to get your license back, no matter how many years it's been since it was revoked? thanks!
