No. Kansas will see that you still have things to take care of in Virginia. They will not give you a license until those things are fixed.
I have a first offense DUI in kansas and im trying to get my TDI adjusters license in TX. I’m currently on a diversion program to get it off my record. It states you can exclude first offense DWI. Would that be the same as DUI?

Yes, they are the same. Different jurisdictions just have slightly different names for the same thing. I've even seen them call OUI or OMVI.

Yes, it is pretty common for the charges to come later when the driver has gone to the hospital. Sometimes blood or urine is obtained at the hospital and sent to the lab for testing. In that case it can be months before the case is charged. Even if there is no blood or urine the officers can take... View More

The Intoxilyzer 9000 breath test machine has a gas canister attached to it. The gas in the canister is certified to test at .08. The external standard check is when the machine tests the gas to attempt to make sure the machine is working properly. If it tests the gas anywhere from .075 to .085... View More

Yes, you can absolutely switch. Find a new company and have them lead you through it.
Ticket states that someone called in a reckless driver in my vehicle match the description. They also stated I refuse fields Friday I do not recall that I was very cooperative. This happen on September 29 What Sunday and my court date is on Tuesday and I’m freaking out do I need a lawyer?

The Judge will not require you to have a lawyer for your case. The prosecutor will love it if you handle your case without a lawyer. I absolutely think you should have a lawyer.
To convict you the government needs to prove you were driving and were impaired by alcohol you drank before you... View More
Or similar idea?

The law requires you to have the IID for two years and you should definitely do that. Your license will not be cleared until you do. There is no requirement to drive the car. The IID company will require you to being the car in once a month or so they can verify it is installed and working, but... View More

Whenever there is an immigration issue involved it is a big deal. A lawyer cannot advise you as to what the best course of action is in you case until she or he looks at all of the evidence. I have handled DUI cases for dozens of immigrants over the years and I can tell that immigration issues are... View More
I completed all requirements for the first two including probation. I have not heard a word from the courts since I was charged in October of 2014. This, of course, would have been a felony.

The SOL is five years. First you want to make sure you didn’t miss a court date and there is a warrant for you. You can call the JOCO Sheriff’s Office for this. I have seen DUI cases in which there was a blood or urine sample sent to the lab that have taken years to get charged. There is no... View More
I realize I cannot get a license in ks but drive there for work. If my Mo license isnt suspended do I risk going to jail in Ks for driving on their roads? I currently live in ks and should have a ks license but knowing Im ok if I lived on the MO side, I would move.
answered on May 10, 2018
As long as you have a suspension in KS you are not legal to drive there, even if you have a valid license in another state.
answered on Feb 19, 2018
Yes, it happens quite often. When you say "passes the Intoxilyzer" I assume you mean the person blew under .08. The officer can still charge the driver with DUI if the officer believes he or she is under the influence to the degree that he or she is incapable of safely driving. This... View More

Assuming you want him to be criminally prosecuted for it, gather all of the papers you have regarding this account and go to your local police and make a police report.

The driver, or an attorney on her behalf, will need to appear in court. Find a lawyer in the county where this occurred or nearby.
answered on Aug 18, 2017
If those are his only traffic violations over that period of time he is not looking at a license suspension. However, his insurance is likely to keep going up with each ticket. He should go to court to try to keep this off his record or get a lawyer to help him with it.

If the Magistrate was a lawyer you do not get to appeal to a District Court Judge. If the Magistrate was not a lawyer you do have that right.

If we are talking about regular moving violations you will get suspended when you get four within a one-year period.
