What is a License Suspension in Michigan?

There are many ways to lose your driving privileges in the State of Michigan. However, one of the fastest ways to get your license suspended is to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Other ways to lose your license involve specific driving violations (Mich. Comp. Laws § 257.320a(1)) as well as State law violations. Following are just some of the ways that you can get your license suspended in Michigan:

• Driving under the influence: If found guilty of DUI, your Michigan driver’s license will most likely be suspended. The length of the suspension depends on the severity of the crime. For instance, a first DUI offense can result in a license suspension for thirty days, thereafter restricted for 150 days; a second offense may result in a revocation for at least a year.
• Excessive moving violations: If you accumulate 12 or more points for moving violations, then your license may be suspended. At this point, you may need a driver assessment reexamination.
• Driving with a suspended license (or no license): Driving with a suspended license may extend the length of the suspension while also carrying other penalties (aka imprisonment). Your driver’s license may also be suspended if you’re caught driving without your license.
• Driving without insurance: Failure to provide proof of satisfactory auto insurance can result in a license suspension.
• Other driving and non-driving violations: Your license could also be suspended if you were convicted of a felony that involved a vehicle, if you failed to stop at the scene of an accident involving injury, you did not appear to court for certain citations, or you failed to appear at a child support hearing or didn’t comply with a child support order.

In addition to these ways to lose a license in Michigan, you can also lose your license if you have a physical or psychological disqualification, you were stealing motor vehicle gas, you changed or falsified a vehicle document, or you evaded a police officer. d

What is a License Revocation in Michigan?

A driver’s license revocation is a little different than a suspension. Often, a license revocation is the result of a conviction for certain driving offenses, and a revocation could remove your driving privileges for a minimum period of one to five years. A license revocation can also occur when the State determines that you do not possess the physical, mental, or other qualifications necessary to safely operate a motor vehicle.

Following the revocation period, it’s essential to remember that your revocation will remain until you attend and complete a Driver Assessment reexamination, where you’ll need to prove that you no longer have the condition that led to the revocation. For instance, you may need to submit a substance abuse evaluation form, evidence of sobriety, or a physician's statement of examination.
