How does a DWI affect my driver’s license?

In Nebraska, if you are convicted of a DUI (driving while intoxicated), your driver’s license will be suspended. Depending on your driving record, the length of the suspension can range from 30 days to 18 months. Once you have been convicted, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will revoke your driver’s license and issue you a suspended license. If you are arrested for a DUI, you will likely have to appear in court and enter a plea. If you are convicted, the court will impose a sentence, such as community service or probation. After you have completed the sentence, the suspension of your driver’s license will take effect. During this period of suspension, you cannot drive under any circumstance, not even with special circumstances, such as to get to work or school. After the suspension period has ended, you must pay a fee to the DMV to reinstate your license. If you are a first-time offender, the fee is usually around $50. There will also be an additional fee of $50 to have your license reinstated. If it has been more than 18 months since you were convicted, you may also be required to take a written and/or driving test before you can get your license back. In short, a DUI conviction in Nebraska can have serious consequences for your driver’s license. It can result in your license being suspended for a period of time, as well as the need to pay a fee for reinstatement. Knowing the laws in your state and understanding the consequences of a DUI can help you make informed decisions about driving under the influence.
