What is the name of your state? AL (current) / TN (previous)
In May, 2006, I was living in TN. While traveling back from vacation, I was pulled over in AL and later convicted of a DUI (even though I only blew a 0.06 -- the limit is 0.08 in AL!!). Anyway, about two weeks after receiving the DUI, I had moved permanently to AL. A few weeks went by and I finally received a letter to surrender my TN drivers license for 1 year. Because my license was revoked in TN, I was also unable to obtain a DL in AL.
I am now finally able to reinstate my TN and then get my AL license, however now I hear that to get my TN DL reinstated, I must pay $150 and also obtain and keep SR-22 insurance IN TN for 3 years. What kind of crap is that? I didn't receive the DUI in TN, I no longer live in TN, and I have no plans to even visit TN. Is there some type of miscommunication here or is this how it works? It seems ridiculous that I would need to hold insurance in a state which I don't live or travel.
Can anyone give me some advice on what I should do here? Also, should I expect to pay anything to obtain my license in AL once I get the TN crap taken care of? I was told by a lady at the AL DMV that my record in the state of AL was "clear".
Thanks!
