DMV
California - The search term "dmv california" is an
unequivocal reference to the State of California's Department of Motor
Vehicles, which is the state agency responsible for the licensing of drivers
and vehicles in California,
for the enforcement of administrative regulations related to those
responsibilities, and for conducting hearings related to suspension of driving
privileges arising from those administrative regulations, particularly hearings
arising from arrests for drunk
driving. Notwithstanding the unequivocal nature of the search query DMV
California, there is a great deal of noise found in search results for this
query because certain Web sites have a great deal of relevance to the keyword California
but make only passing references to the keyword DMV. The search results
compiled below have eliminated this noise in favor of Web sites that
(presumably) are more relevant to the query DMV California.
Solano
County DMV Hearing Lawyer - In California, your right to drive is considered a
privilege, not a right. The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) can
suspend or revoke your driver’s license if it decides you are not capable or
deserving of the privilege to drive. Losing your driver’s license will
seriously limit your ability to function in our society. Driving is the
primary means for getting to work, social events, shopping, and handling family
matters. A revoked or suspended driver’s license will significantly
impact your ability to make a living and to live an enjoyable life.
Solano
County,
California DMV Lawyer - A California driver license suspension or
revocation can have serious implications for a California driver. The
imposition of a suspension or revocation can threaten the very livelihood and
independence of the person whose driver license is threatened. It is important
to note that in California, drivers have a property right in their driver
licenses. This means the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) cannot suspend or
revoke a driver license without a hearing where the driver will have the
opportunity to present evidence. However, there are some very rigid deadlines
which must be met in order to effectively challenge a California driver license
suspension imposed by the Department of Motor Vehicles. In most cases, if a DMV
hearing is not requested within the specified time limit, the California driver
may be prevented from challenging the case. In other instances, the case can
become considerably more difficult to win and the driver may be forced to fight
the case while their California driver license is suspended or revoked.
DMV Hearings in Solano County -
One of the things you have to realize about DMV is that the Supreme Court of
the United States, whether we like it or not, has ruled that action against
your license by both DMV and the Court is not double jeopardy, because it is
considered "remedial" which is, of course, a fiction, and not
criminal, so therefore the DMV can take your license for a period of time,
depending upon what type of action it is and/or how many priors you have and/or
what your DMV printout looks like, and then the Court can then take it
independently. The time can either be concurrent with the DMV or overlapping
the DMV. Further, if you are convicted in court, your license can actually be
taken a third time. All of the above can be done without any "double
jeopardy" within the meaning of criminal law, sometimes consecutively.
