The DMV has the ultimate jurisdiction over your driving privilege, and thus has the ultimate say over your driver’s license restrictions, suspensions, or action. The DMV suspension or revocation is an administrative action taken against your driving privilege only. The suspension or revocation following a conviction in court is a mandatory action for which jail, fine, or other criminal penalty can be imposed.
