A: If you were 18 at the time, then the only restriction that results from that should be payment of fines. They probably went to collections, so you would have to contact the court and find out how to pay them. Once the fines are taken care of, you are probably clear to apply for a license.

If you contact a lawyer, they can probably look the case up and help you figure all this out very quickly.
