First, make sure you go tot he hearing. The reason this happened is that there are two legal authorities that you must satisfy:

1. The Court and you paid the fine.

2. The Department of Safety. They have their own rules governing who can have a license. Although the court had no intention of taking your license, DMV did and they have the right and power to do so. I imagine the hearings officer will not look too favorably on you since you drove after the first suspension and you only had to wait 20 days. Nevertheless, go to the hearing and make your case.
