Help! Can I still drive a vehicle?
|
I just lost my license recently to a speeding ticket that was 24 mphs over and I'm under 21. This is the second time that it has been suspended, but not for the same reason, the first time was because I had too many points. My question is that I still have my motorcycle permit, am I still at least able to drive that so that I can still get to work and such? Or how am I able to work it out so that I can get from one place to another because my parents both work...a lot and I work a lot as well. Please help! Additional Details Well, see, the thing is, when he pulled me over, I was already around 200-300ft in the 45 zone. And when I went to court to try and contest it, he said that he was in another place than the one that he was actually in. I'm not a very good speaker when explaining things and I just kinda choked in front of the judge. Is there any way to maybe appeal the sentence?

In many states, as I understand it, you need a valid driver's license to hold a motorcycle permit. If this is the case in your state, you'll need to park the bike.
Other options- friends (pay for gas and a little extra), feet, mass transit, bikes, cabs... Some cities and companies help match you up for car-pooling. For the summer, some powered scooters or power-assisted bikes do not need permits.
Or get a job closer to home, or an apartment closer to work.
Or see if your city offers any kind of exception for work (some do- but blow that and you are DEAD.)
In any case, do us both a favor and learn to drive safely. (24mph over? Dude! 42 in a 20 zone, 64 in a 40 zone, or 84 in a 60 zone- any way, that was not smart and I'm sorta glad you got stopped before you hurt yourself or someone else.) |

you should have told the judge you need to drive to work ... no you can't drive the bike, or anything else, unless you could get approval to drive to work, but it might be too late for that. Like Hillier said, it also helps if you can say that your family needs you to run errands and stuff, but your parents have to be the ones to say that. |

Suspended means no driving. I wouldn't risk it, because just think of what will happen if you get caught. You could be in for some serious problems from this point on. I'd look into the bus lines, or put on your walkin shoes. |

I don't know what state you are in, but I know that some places allow you to take a driving class to reduce your points. |

Since you are a minor you can take the ticket to court and plead that you need limited driving priveleges to get to work, take your siblings to school, to deliver meals on meals and that kind of stuff. Sometimes they will shorten your suspension or give you a "work" license
It worked for me when I was a 17 year old dumbass. |

I say probable not. You better get yourself a pair of rollerblades or buy a bike. |

no, cause it goes agenst your driveing record. if you drive the motorcycle, it will be hell if you get stopped by the police. haveing a supended licence affects all your driveing privlages. you can drive a moped without any problems, just be sure to use a helmet though! |

ok, CALL A TAXI!! no,no,no. wait, i've got it!! CALL A TAXI!! oh sorry, WALK FOR THE EXERCISE!! sorry, PAY A FRIEND!!! i'm sorry,so sorry, TAKE THE BUS!!! no i think WALKING WILL BE THE BEST ADVICE!!! see driving is a PRIVILIGE! TAXI,BUS,WALK,PAY A FRIEND, driving after being suspended, <really stupid,insane,moronic,did i mention STUPID idea. they wil put you in jail if caught!!!

You may have the actual permit - but if it has been suspended at the DMV, you are not legal to drive. If you get stopped, then you are up $hit's Creek. Besides, doesn't sound like you are responsible enough to be driving anyway. |

I would recommend that you get a bicycle, a bus pass, or a good pair of walking shoes. You are not yet 21 and have had your license suspended twice????????
It seems to me that you need to learn a lesson here. Your actions and irresponsibility have cause you to lose your driving privileges. You need to serve out your license suspension, and find alternate transportation.
Maybe when you get your license back this time, you will consider the trouble you had without it, and will drive like you have a bit of good sense! |

nope... if your licence is suspended...
that means NO DRIVING... period.
(that's why you don't want that to happen to you) |

I believe you can get a provisional license for driving to school and work only. But that's only if there aren't any bus stops close or you have to work late hours. Other than that, you're out of luck and you'll have to take the bus. |

I think you're out of luck as far as driving is concerned. You will have to try and hitch a ride with a friend, or start walkin'. |

Get an occupational license. (If your state has one) It allows you to drive to and from work only!! |
