What is the name of your state? CA

Hello all,

A year or so ago I had a MIP and a "DUI." My license was surrendered when pulled over and i was given my per se temp license. DMV proceded to suspend my license for a year for (I'm assuming) the "DUI." When I appeared in court, the judge dropped the "DUI" and issued me 30 AA meetings for the MIP (I'm assuming once again that that 30 AA meetings were for my MIP charge since the "DUI" charge was dropped). Two months after my court appearance I returned to court to apply for a restricted license. The judge granted my motion, but told me I would have to speak with the DMV. DMV began to issue me directions to recieve my restricted license but then found out I was under 21. DMV told me that my "DUI," which was "under 21 driving with BAC of .05 or more" (CDWJAVA has told me this not a DUI per se), was showing that I was older than 21. DMV instructed me to call sacramento action unit to have this corrected. Personally, I think that this was DMV's mistake and they should correct it, but thats niether here nor there.

A year later, DMV's restriction has finished and I was told by a DMV agent that I am able to reapply for my license. However what I was wondering was why doesnt the MIP restriction from court show up in DMV information? Technically I should still be under suspension by court, or did those 30 AA meeetings dismiss the MIP charge, including the suspension?

One last concern I have is what will become of the incorrect DUI charge if I do not call sacramento to have them correct it?

Thank you all for your time,
Gary

Sounds like the MIP was dropped.

You're dealing with two bureaucracies: the courts and DMV.

They don't always agree on everything.
