What is a Motor Vehicle Department (MVD) hearing?
An MVD hearing is a civil proceeding in order to determine if your license is to be suspended. This hearing will usually occur before a criminal trial. If the state does not meet its burden of proof your driving privileges will not be suspended. However, a conviction is the criminal portion of the DUI charge will result in a suspension for the same time period that would have been ordered if the state had met its burden at the MVD hearing. What is subsequent revocation? If you are convicted of a second DUI charge within sixty (60) months of the first one, you will have your driving privileges revoked for a period of not more than one (1) year. If you are convicted of aggravated DUI, you will be subjected to a three (3) year revocation. Reinstatement following this kind of revocation is much more difficult, and requires an investigation into your character, habits, driving abilities, and an evaluation by a physician or substance abuse counselor indicating you are safely able to operate
