Q: Suspended license due to boyfriend driving my uninsured car without permission.
DMV said he has to write a letter saying i didnt know so that I can get my license unsuspended and get a removal of a ticket for $400. However he was on bench probation at the time of the accident but he did have an SR-22. if he writes that letter what happens to him? Does he get put back on probation? does he get charged more for something else? He already has his licence suspended for another year due to driving without insurance but because the car wasn't insured does that mean he can still get charged for something else? But he is off of bench but he wasn't at that time.
A:
This the guy who took your keys? Thought I answered that. In any event, he should ask his lawyer. I would advise you get the letter, he put you in the jam, if his sorry self is back inside you can look for someone who won't leave you high and dry.
I know, deep down inside he's a wonderful guy--only did this once before. If he's off the probation now, his writing the letter won't somehow trigger anything as there is no open file. Your bigger problem may be if there was a crash and the other people will be looking at you to pay and your insurance may say he's unauthorized. Depending on the value of the car I'd say if a member of the Oregon Trial Lawyers Assn/Assn for Justice gives you a free consult, great, if not pay for one--you need answers that are based on Oregon law & your insurance policy and when drivers may be excluded.
