Brockton Motor Vehicle Offense Defense Attorneys
Operating a motor vehicle after a license has been suspended or revoked because of an OUI/DUI conviction or a failed breath test (.08 or above for adults over age 21 or .02 or above for operators under age 21) carries serious penalties.
After the alcohol-related suspension/revocation has expired the operator has to take steps to get his or her license reinstated. However, an operating on a suspended license charge that occurs after the time period imposed for an alcohol related suspension but before the driver has had his or her license reinstated will not result in a conviction for operating after a license suspension/revocation for an OUI/DUI conviction or related offense.
