Suspensions and Revocations
Operating a motor vehicle is a privilege. If this privilege is abused, it may result in a driver license suspension or revocation.
Mandatory suspensions, revocations, and convictions for certain offenses involving fraudulent government records require an additional $100 reinstatement fee.
