Re: suspension of license

Either do the required program and get your license, or go to court with a proper motion seeking to clarify or amend the court's sentencing order in a way that the DMV will honor. No guarantee that will succeed, but if interested in doing so, contact me to discuss details and costs.

As a supplement to my first answer, it probably is the case that your conviction was for a count of DUI involving 'drugs and/or alcohol' that invokes the DMV suspension. If so, you get to do as they say or not get your license back.
