My question involves a driver's license issued by the State of: California
I am an Arizona resident who periodically works in CA. A bit over a year ago I was cited for DUI in CA. I blew a 0.08 on the PAS, but then got 0.07 on my blood test. Before the blood test was returned, I received a notice from CA saying that my license was suspended via "Admin Per Se", that it would remain so for 4 months and the only way I could get it back was to pay $125, and get an SR-22 for 3 years. The citation never went to trial and been since dismissed.
My AZ license was never suspended. My insurance company was never notified, and as far as they are concerned I have a pristine driving record and I'd like to keep it that way. I have obtained the official long-form copy of my AZ MVD report just to verify that nothing has shown up anywhere.
In the interim I have been paranoid to drive in CA when visiting and do not...in S.F. this isn't really a problem. However, it now looks like I will have to be in CA more often for work and in situations where I will *have* to drive.
If I get an SR-22 just b/c of that notice to "cover my butt" in CA...it will destroy my insurance rating in AZ, which I really can't afford.
A) What happens if I get pulled over by a CA cop and produce my (quite valid) AZ license and insurance?
B) Is there any way to find out what my CA driving privilege status is without causing some additional record or flag to be put in a system somewhere?
C) How long would I have to wait for this to just "go away"?
D) Can I get this expunged without an attorney?
Thanks!
