Q: I was told tonight my license was suspended, shouldn't I have been notified about it
I was given a ticket & told I could pay it online or call the DA on Monday to find out why. I had gotten a ticket over 2 yrs ago but paid the fine. I'm trying to figure out how I have been able to pay my tags, change title and have insurance if this true. How could no one have caught this?
A: Drivers licenses in Minnesota are administered by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. You can call a "Driver Evaluator" there to discuss what's up with your license and whether they sent a notice. And you can go there to get a certified copy of your driver's license record. If you paid a fine but they think you didn't, you'll now be glad you saved that receipt proving it(or your credit card statement proving it). The court rarely makes those kind of mistakes, but I've caught a few of them (with a copy of the saved receipt for the fine paid). If you've now got a "Driving After Suspension" ticket, be sure to avoid getting convicted of that, since it will trigger an additional minimum 30-day license revocation (additional). You have better luck with that if you license is again in good standing before you go to court.
