Legal Question in DUI Law in Connecticut

I was arrested for a DUI on the morning of Saturday, September 11, 2010. I learned that technically my license is not suspended until I receive notice from the Department of Motor Vehicles stating the start date of my suspension. I have not yet received a letter. I was curious to see how long this process takes on average. Also, I was curious to see if, for whatever reason, I never receive notification, my license will truly be suspended.

Thanks for your help!

Usually takes 10 days to 2 weeks for DMV to send you a letter. Unfortunately, you can�t use lack of receipt of the letter as an excuse. As crazy or unfair as it sounds, the burden is on you to discover when your suspension takes effect.
