If DMV has suspended your license - or even started suspension proceedings against you - don’t go it alone. In their rush to suspend driver’s licenses, they often skip over requirements, commit errors of law and break rules. Many hearing officers are unaware that their administrative hearings are governed by the Administrative Procedures Act as well as the Vehicle Code, and they must comply with both.

One hearing officer recently described her job by saying, “I suspend licenses for a living.” The good news is that we can use their ignorance of the law and unfair attitudes against them. Once you’re in their cross-hairs, it is impossible to get a fair shake, because they are going to suspend you if they can. (A “hearing officer” is often a drive test examiner who got promoted and got an office.)Ĭompounding the hearing officers’ ignorance of the law is the anti-motorist climate at DMV Driver Safety.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles suspends or revokes hundreds of thousands of driver’s licenses every year - more than the next four states combined! It surprises people to learn that the DMV employee who decides whether to suspend a license is not a judge or lawyer, but a hearing officer with no legal training whatsoever.
