Uh, no. Please leave the conversation. I didn't renew my license. Plain and simple. That was what the first one was about. And it is why it was suspended again. THE SAME infraction of not renewing my license on time. To you, that equates to 2 days in jail and a $600 dollar fine? Not to mention bonding and lawyer fees? For $28.50? You truly sound like a r****d with every post you make.
how long did they suspend it? I have to renew my license next JUNE... I still have a traffic warrant from the city of bellaire that i need to pay.
Transportation services are all incompetent. The DMV in California has an error rate of 60%. It's only a miracle it somehow manages. What this means is the burden is upon you to keep records, call for names, number, and verification. Also means follow up after some periods of time. I a had friend who had to redo his community service 3 years ago after the DMV/county court misplaced his records and he himself unknowingly lost them. Follow-up is important. Record keeping is just as vital.
Hmmm. DWI for which your license is suspended. Then speeding. & expired registration. You seem to love to blame the authorities for your problems. Legally operating a motor vehicle is a privilege, not a right, and it doesn't sound like you're too responsible. Once again, if your going to neglect things like you do, expect a hassle.
You don't get it, do you? My license was suspended for one year for the DWI. I followed all of the rules during that suspension. Not sure where you got the "Speeding" from. Obviously from your ass. Again, at the time, NOBODY, not the courts, not DPS, not even my Lawyer knew why my license was suspended again. We all assumed it was for driving with a suspended license, but, once again, we couldn't figure out why the license was suspended. I spoke to a DPS person today that said that, during my suspension (of which I had a worker's permit) the cop ticketed me for having an expired license. THAT was why my license was suspended again. You seem to really like talking out of your ass, don't you? I can guarantee you've had more moving violations than I have over the last ten years. Just shut it. I'm not sure I've found a fan of your posts yet.
Once you get ticketed for an expired license, or whatever else constitutes the infraction (the DPS person said it was in section 390 of the code (WTF?) you have to pay the surcharges. The problem is that DPS doesn't have to tell you about it. All they have to do is send the surcharge to the address on file. (Again, if this address is wrong, or if your postmaster doesn't want to take the responsibility) you'll never know. If you don't pay the surcharge, your license is on what they call a "voluntary suspension". So if you pay the fine, ahem, surcharge, like I did today, your license will be reinstated in 5-7 business days.
Umm, how do you get pulled over in a speedtrap for an expired registration? The cop must have super vision to see your expired registration tag while your moving at a good speed. And I'll be more than happy to take that bet about who has more moving violations.
You've never driven through Bellaire, have you? I was going 35 in a 35, but he was on the island and was specifically looking at registration, as well. Mainly because everyone knows not to speed through Bellaire, West U, or SouthSide. Where are you from? What should I have called it? A sticker trap? And I have 0 moving violations in the past 10 years.
No. I got pulled over for expired registration. That's when I found out my license was suspended for a ticket I got for an expired license previously.
I was in an accident with someone else. They were at fault. I called the police. They took an hour and a half. By that time, the drinks I had earlier had fully set in, and I got busted for a DWI. After I took the plea bargain, and spoke to police, I should have never have been arrested in the first place. My own fault. I had a lousy lawyer and was looking to save money rather than take it to trial. Que sera sera. It's the only DWI I have on my record. BUT, it makes all of the difference in the world in sentencing and fines on these "suspended license" things.
So, let me see if I have the order of events straight: You got behind the wheel after drinking. You were in an accident. You were arrested for DWI. Your license was suspended for a year. You did not pay the fees associated with reinstating your license. You did not update your address with the police. Because you did not pay your fees, your license was again suspended. You were then pulled over for an expired registration and arrested for the suspended license. You were required to prove you own a vehicle for which you have no documentation backing up your claim. After paying these fees, you are ticketed for driving with an expired license (or did this happen before the DWI? It's a little vague). And your license is (for a third time?) suspended for non-payment of the ticket. Seems to me this entire thing is YOUR fault: YOU made the choice to drive after drinking. Whether or not the drinking was the cause of the accident, you could have killed someone. YOU made the choice not to renew your registration. It takes 15 minutes, and can be done at your local grocery store. YOU did not pay the fee associated with your suspended license. You state that they didn’t tell you about the fees, yet they are listed online at the Texas DPS website. YOU made the choice not to transfer title on your vehicle. This is Car Buying 101. If the title is not in your name, you can’t prove you own it. YOU neglected to renew your license. It’s much easier than it used to be. You can even do it online now. You've violated some fairly significant rules associated with owning and operating a car, yet the police are at fault? Don't get me wrong, the fees are ridiculously inflated, and I've no doubt the city has more interest in making money than protecting the citizenry. But you seem to be the one giving them ammo to take you down. Wouldn't it just be easier to just be a bit more responsible car-owner?
So you drank before the accident, but you weren't drunk at the time of the accident, but you the drinks kicked in an hour and a half later? Fatty, this is really delusional thinking.
Yeah, I was wondering about that. From what I understand, folks that have been stopped for DWI want to wait as long as possible before undergoing any sort of field sobriety, breath or blood test.
It's comparable to the formula used in slow release fertilizer you put on your lawn. It's called slow release alcohol. It feeds for 6 to 8 weeks.
