When I was arrested for DUI my breath test indicated a BAC of .08. Will my driver's license automatically be suspended?

In cases like this, if the MVD believes a suspension of your driving privilege is warranted, the suspension will commence fifteen days from the date it is issued.

However, if you or your attorney take appropriate action quickly enough, you can, at the very least, postpone the suspension for a while, and possibly even avoid it completely.

The suspension will be stayed if you or your attorney requests either summary review or a hearing within fifteen days of the date of issuance.

If summary review is requested your attorney will submit a written argument as to why your driving privileges should not be suspended. Your driving privileges remain in effect for at least twenty days from the date of the request.

The documents submitted by your attorney will be reviewed by the MVD without a hearing and you will be notified of the decision within twenty days of the request.
