What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Connecitcut
My license has been suspended due to my noncompliance with Connecticut's Passenger Restriction Laws. This issue has occurred twice and therefore my license currently is under suspension until my eighteenth birthday, September 25, 2010.
The scenarios are as follows:
1. I was pulling into a parking spot at which time the vehicle in my passenger side parking spot opened his door into my car. He was determined to be at fault for the accident, however I had passengers in my car at the time and therefore my license was suspended due to it.
* Please note; in Connecticut Law it is required for an officer to suspend your license for an immediate 48 hour period at the time of the issue. However, this officer did not suspend my license, rather he allowed me to drive away from the scene and later called my house claiming no farther action would be taken towards my license due to his failure to suspend it. Because of this I believed I was no longer facing any penalties for my actions on this date.
Three weeks later after my second offense, I received the notice in regards to the first offense due to the CT DMV response time.
2. The second scenario was when I was driving home from school with a passenger in my car. Without my knowledge and obviously without my approval, the passenger proceeded to throw a half full Gatorade bottle out my window at a passing biker. Upon arrival at my house later that night I was greeted by an officer who claimed the woman biking had filed a complaint on my license plate and therefore I was forced to admit to having passengers in my car.
After my first notice, I waited another three weeks, at which time I was mailed my second and final suspension notice in regards to my license.
My only question is; Is there any possible way for me to retrieve my license prior to my eighteenth birthday? If so, how?
Thank you.
