hey man, i feel for ya...EXACT thing happened to me 2 years ago. I got totally fucked by the state in my case (2mph cost me my licience...im not gonna get into that again tho) but you gata do what you gata do. Oh, and my insurance hasn't gone up one bit since I was 14 (I'm 19 now) :)...and yes i've been on my own policy since the beginning...good grades help A LOT with the price (around $30/month). Anywho, GL man, I lost my licience for 3 months because I was almost 18 when it happend and that sucked.
Oh yea, and one more thing...if you get pulled over and you dont have a licience in our case, it's NOT a suspended licience. It's as if you never had one and have to start over...therefore the fine is $20 (it was that a few months ago...it may have changed when ticket prices went up) and 4 points on a licience that you dont have...however, you will have 4 more points on there when you get it back.

I thought licenses got pulled at 12 or 16 points, not 6? And points decay at like 1/week or something like that?
I've gotten a few <= 2 pt tickets here (so they're non reportable for insurance purposes). 6 points would be 3 10mph over tickets. It seems unlikely that you'd get a license pulled for that.
There's really very little excuse for getting DUI/MIP/whatever tickets. I don't like how George Orwell our drunk driving laws have become, or the suspension of due process that often results, but if people wouldn't keep misbehaving it wouldn't have gotten this way.
As someone that doesn't drink I can sit and unknowingly preach at people, but I have to imagine that 95% of the people that get pulled over and ticketed for alcohol really are dumbasses with no business operating a car in that condition.
This is probably especially true for younger people that have the deadly trifecta - assuming they know how to drive well, assuming they can hold their liqour, and feeling invincible all the time.
Different people can retain motor functions, situational awareness, and reaction times to varying degrees of effectiveness after drinking, but the law can't be written to take that into consideration (just like the speeding laws don't take into consideration that I've got a boatload more professional driver training than the average person)
I'm not going to tell anybody not to speed when it's something I do with impunity, but I will say that when you're getting caught often enough to lose a license.. you're doing something wrong. When you're getting caught for drinking & driving.. you're doing something way wrong.

I had this happen to me last fall... it sucked to say the least. I had to take my permit test again but because i turned 18 between the time of my offence and my lisence suspension all i had to do was take my written permit test and then my drivers test.. if you turn 18 within the next 6 months you can take your drivers test after you turn 18 because your points will no longer be at 0 on your lisence because it goes up to 11 when your 18

Um....Ok. Spoken well but I didnt get my license revoked for drinking and driving. I wasnt even under the influence when I got my MIP. I dont drink and drive because its stupid and not worth it. I lost my license due to to many tickets and the loss of my 6 points.
3 things i couldn't live without.........
