Hi all.
I literally deal with this sort of thing almost everyday. If you have ever gotten a ticket in this state and thought it was taken care of (like thru a lawyer, or a court clerk tells you everything is ok), don't trust them! The police do not care what kind of receipts or suspension order lifts you have on you....if the computer tells the police officer that your license is suspended or revoked...you are walking home with some tickets and a number to call to get your car back.
So what to do? Normally the DMV will send you a notice if your license is suspended. But we all know how the DMV is such a 'well oiled machine' and can never screw up.
If you have gotten tickets in the last ten years stop by the DMV and get a drivers abstract. That will show all of your convictions, suspensions, license status, etc. Any suspensions will give a reason for the suspension and court location. This will allow you to go back and fix whats wrong at the court.
A good portion of drivers license suspensions is a result of some attorney not doing what he is paid, or a lazy court clerk failing to notify the DMV. In the end its YOUR responsibility to be certain that you have a valid license.
