About Your Driver's License
The Florida Department of Motor Vehicles will automatically suspend your driver'license 10 days after the date of your arrest. This will happen separately from your criminal case, and the license suspension will occur long before you have the ability to argue your innocence in a court of law.
You do have the right to request a license revocation hearing with the DMV in an effort to keep your license. This is a formal hearing where evidence will be presented against you and the arresting police officers could testify. As in the criminal case, professional legal help can make a difference in the outcome of the license hearing.
