My BA was tested 0.11. Cop told me my license is held, but NOT suspended. So, am I good to drive ?They also told me court date could take days to months. Does that mean my license is not suspended till court date ? Its Illinois license with DUI happened in Indiana. I am very confused, any answer would be appreciated.
You need an Indiana DUI lawyer. First, some basics: You are not suspended or revoked unless and until Illinois does so. The Indiana court has personal jurisdiction over you, but has NO jurisdiction over your Illinois driving privileges. That is the good news. The BAD news is that any "DUI" (as Illinois calls it) conviction in any state WILL result in a revocation of your Illinois drivers license.
If you can afford to hire an attorney you should do so. Your Illinois license will not be suspended administratively while your case is pending. However, if you are convicted, IL will revoke your license for at least a year. Depending on where your case is pending it may be possible to reduce the charge to where you will not lose your license.
