Legal Question in DUI Law in California

DMV License Suspension/Court Verdict

i was popped for a DUI last year and the DMV suspended my license for four months. because my court arraignment hadn't been scheduled yet, i completed my suspension, paid the reinstatement fee, and gave an SR-22 without the DUI class requirements to reinstate my license. The DMV sent me a letter saying my license was valid once again.

Today I was sentenced and the judge said not to operate my car without being properly licensed and insured, but on my minutes sheet there is no information on suspension, and i would assume i am right now properly licensed and insured. Should i therefore assume I can keep my license? I don't want to be driving around on a suspended license with a possibility of being arrested because i happened to be speeding or having a broken tail light, etc.

Re: DMV License Suspension/Court Verdict

When you were sentenced, I am sure the judge ordered you to complete the drinking driver program. Not doing so can result in a new suspension and may be a violation of probation. so enroll and do the course ASAP.
