So I got a letter from the DMV today stating that my license had been suspended for the next six months. This puts me in a rut for the next six months. Now I wont be able to get a job. Thus I will not be able to get back to school.

I've been trying so hard lately to turn things around, and this doesn't help at all :(

I found a wonderful partner. I quit smoking. I was actually happy, as things were starting to look up. I'm really at a loss of what to do here.

Are there places to work within walking/biking distance? Could you carpool with someone or get a ride from a family member temporarily?

You might want to check if you can ride a scooter without a license where you live.

Scooters are a great option as you don't have to have a license in most states to drive one. The "MAN" sucks don't he?

My father used to be the Central Zone Manager for ADOT (AZ Dept of Transportation) and he said most states that suspend you allow you to apply for a temporary license after 30 days that allow you to travel to work and school only) if you get caught driving elsewhere, your license could be suspended for a year without the temporary license. So if you can get by for 30 days you can apply for the temporary one and be good to go. Call your local DMV and inquire about that.

I'm pretty sure he's right about that. I had a friend that got a DWI and he was able to apply for a work license. If you're lucky you won't have to wait the 30 days.

Would the temporary license allow me to go to job interviews?

I believe that they do have something they call a conditional license. As others have said, it will only get you work, school & home.

I found this on the web. http://www.dmv.org/ny-new-york/suspended-license.php#Obtain_a_Restricted_License

Suspended in All States
Most motor vehicle agencies participate in the National Driver Register (NDR), a national database that collects and shares information on suspended and revoked licenses. This protects states from issuing licenses to drivers with "red flag" records.

Most states also participate in the Driver License Compact (DLC), sharing data on drivers who rack up suspensions and revocations outside of their home states. This allows states to prosecute their wayward residents under their own terms.

Top2) Penalties for Driving on a Suspended License
Getting caught driving with a suspended license could result in jail, probation, losing your vehicle, or getting fined as much as $5,000. Penalties vary based on the nature of your suspension. To learn more about your situation, call one of the state's regional Traffic Violations Bureau Offices.

Contact an Attorney
If the law comes down hard upon you, it may be in your best interest to hire legal advice. Attorneys are well versed on how to minimize long-term driving penalties.

Top3) Obtain a Restricted License
If you get charged with an alcohol- or drug-related driving violation, you can apply for a conditional license only if you enroll in the state's Drinking Driver Program (DDP).

A restricted license limits your driving to the following situations:

To and from work.
During work if your job requires driving.
To and from class at a recognized school or college.
To transport your child to and from a child care facility.
To and from DDP classes.
To and from court-ordered probation requirements.
To and from a DMV office for business pertaining to your restricted license.
During the three-hour weekly period designated on your restricted license.
To and from a medical facility for you or a family member (must be certified by a physician).
The DMV or a judge will decide if you are eligible for this option, but you may also want to consult an attorney experienced with restricted licenses.
