What happens to my driver license if I am convicted of a DUI DWI?
In Minnesota, it does not take a conviction for a DWI/DUI for the state to take your driver’s license. If you are charged with a DWI/DUI, your license will be revoked when the Department of Public Safety receives your test result. Depending on your history, your license could be revoked from 30 days to 6 years.
You do have the right to challenge the license revocation, but you only have 60 days from the time they give you notice to do so. If you do not file the challenge, you automatically give it up and will be required to serve the entire revocation, even if there are legal issues to challenge in your case. If you are charged with a DWI when your blood alcohol concentration is under .08, your license will only be revoked if you are convicted of the DWI.
These types of cases can be very confusing and have a lot of moving parts. Hiring an attorney is the best thing you can do to help manage those moving parts. If you or a loved one finds themselves charged with a DWI/DUI, call the attorneys at Gerald Miller, P.A. to set up your free consultation right away.
