Department of Driving Services Savannah GA

DUI is a serious offense. You license can be suspended. First time offenders may have their licenses suspended for one year. A second conviction within a five year period will result in a five year license suspension. If your license is suspended because of DUI, you may be able to keep your license or get a temporary one that allows you to drive to work and school if you fight. If you do not fight, your license will automatically be suspended for a set period of time after your conviction. Failing to apply properly for the temporary license in the right time frame may make you lose your chance to receive it. A third conviction within a five year period means a five year suspension of licenses and the driver being denied the right to get a limited permit to drive to work or school for the first two years.

Request the Department of Driving Services for an administrative licensing hearing within ten days of your arrest. If you don’t, you will loose your right to a hearing. Remember, the ten days start from the first business day after your arrest. The hearing is generally scheduled about 60 days after your arrests. The hearing is held before an officer who reviews the evidence you produce and determine whether or not to suspend or revoke your license. You will be given an opportunity to question the officer who arrested you. Based on the evidence you produce and your questioning, the officer will take a decision.
