What is the name of your state? Mississippi

I know that upon getting the letter about my license being suspended i have 10 days to "file a test refusal petition" for an administrative hearing...but how exactly do i do that? i've been trying to contact the damn dmv all day...with no luck. (just rings off the hook or i'm transferred to someone else.:mad:) guess i'll attempt to go over there after work...but if anyone has more information it would be greatly apprectiated.

I don't know if this will be helpful to you but Here's a tip in scheduling your DMV hearing...schedule it for as far in the future as you can. This way you will have a "stay" on your license until the DMV has rendured their decision. Which will more than likely be a suspension. This way you can continue to drive until after the hearing.

Well checked it out today...went to the dmv...apparently you have to go through your attorney here in MS. It's some lame long process. Through the judge, yadayada. Screw it.

Here's to driving w/o a license for six months! :D

In some states, filing for the DMV hearing within the ten days can grant you a temporary license, but also just delays the hard suspension, unless you prevail in said DMV hearing. The temporary license is not to be confused with the hardship restricted license.
