    Permanent Driver's License Revocation Appeal in Other States
    My question involves a driver's license issued by the State of: Florida


    My last DUI was 25 years ago. Fla issued a permanent revocation Because of priors I had as a teenager. I have not had any tickets since. I have 22 years

    of sobriety. I have had a Business Purposes only hardship license for 17 years. Florida leaves the definition of

    business purposes up to the individual patrolman. I know Colorado and Alabama have an appeals process where a license can be issued to me.

    Do any other states have the appeals process?

    I am now 50 years old and hope to find a

    state that doesn't seek to punish me for dui convictions I had as a teenager.
    Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Your appeal of a driver's license suspension occurs through the state that suspended your driving privileges.

    You cannot appeal a Florida suspension in Colorado or Alabama.

    Another state can issue a license if you become a resident there and they don't have reciprocal agreement with Florida......BUT almost ever state upon application asks you "Have you ever been convicted of an alcohol related offense" then the trouble starts...the problem with DWI offenses is that a magistrate that would likely entertain an application for parole for a murderer will be reluctant to grant an order restoring a drivers license to a convicted DUI history because of the repercussions in the event that there's a relapse and a fatal accident....NY state doesn't have a revocation for life but I'm sure it can be a condition of parole that you never drive a motor vehicle.....there's nothing etched in stone when it comes to the law if you have the means to employ effective counsel, appeal of the no license order could be challanged even in federal court as capricious and evcessive. I say it could be done but whether you could pay the freight and make it worth it to you is up to you.
