    Default Is it legal to possess two driver's licenses

    A few days ago, I got arrested due to DUI. The officer took my driver's license. I didn't have GA driver's license, I had Illinois driver's license.

    My attoney advised me to try to get a dupulicated licese from IL, and get a GA's driver's license prior to court date and administrative hearing date. By having GA's driver's license, I will get a hardship driver's license if I convicted DUI.

    I found that I still possessed FL driver's license. I guess when I got a new driver's license in California, they didn't take it from me.(were they supposed to take it from me?, I don't remember how I still kept that. But this is not I did intentionally.)

    So, today I went to DMV office in Atlanta with my valid FL driver's license and applied for a GA driver's license and I received it. Is it llegal?? my FL driver's license had expiration date on 2007.

    NOW I AM VERY AFRAID, after reading this article

    Possession of a Fake ID
    Possession of a fake ID is a Class B misdemeanor!?All Class B misdemeanors have a possible punishment of six months in jail and a $2,000.00 fine.?Fake ID is on the same penalty level as a first DWI.?Furthermore, the suspect would be arrested and need to bond out of jail. This law also applies to anyone who possesses more than one driver’s license. Furthermore, if a person under 21 years of age is found by the police to be in possession of alcohol, the police will suspect that s/he has a fake ID

    A driver's license can be suspended for one year for fake ID and DWI.?Driving with a Suspended DL is a Class B misdemeanor with further loss of driver’s license.?Penalties and suspension periods increase on subsequent arrests.

    Is it my case? Am I going to be punished for a class B misdemeanor???

    If so, what should I do?Can I go back to DMV and tell them that I didn't know about it and void it?

    I am very scared. Please help me out.
    Any of your sincere advise will be highly appreciated.

    Default Two DLs

    Perhaps it is a bit late, but I have three valid DLs. I did not obtain them on purpose, but they just came to be. One is from another country I lived in for three years the other two are NY and NJ. I only use the NY DL; however, the NYPD recently found all three on me and they did not mention a thing--oh actually they jokingly asked if I was a spy. I don't suggest you carry them all around with you, but I'm sure that if you are not possessing them for illegal purposes you will not be charged with anything.
