Legal Question in DUI Law in Iowa

I was arrested in 2002 for an OWI in Iowa. I had a Nebraska DL, the limits were different at the time between states, IA was .10 and NE was .08. I paid fines and did some jail time for the offense. I was pulled over in 2012 and they told me my DL was suspended. I didn't know because I had just renewed it. I found out there was some fines that needed to be paid yet. I paid those and moved to IA and got my DL there. Recently I was pulled over for expired tags and they told me my DL was suspended again. I found a civil penalty and some fines from the 2012 tickets that were not paid. I paid those and now they are saying I need to take a Drinking Driving class. Is there a limitations on this. I mean I had my DL from 2 different states and now they are saying that I had to take it back in 2002 so I could get my DL back.

What argument can you make that you shouldn't have to take the class? The requirement was not fulfilled. You were probably ordered to do it and you forgot about it.

Be that as it may, taking the class won't kill you.
