Q: I received an "order of suspension" of my driver's license pursuant to vehicle code 13953. Suggestions re: remedy?
I am a 66 y/o woman of sound mind and body. The suspension is for "unskilled driving", having failed the "supplemental" driver's test x 2. I have bad performance/social anxiety which interfered with my performance but my day to day driving is intact. My driving record is clean. I realize that this falls into a grey area of the law, most likely administrative at best. I'm looking for advice, strategies & possible representation. My hearing is on 3/2/23 and meanwhile I'm driving with a suspended license. I requested and received "the discovery." I live in Santa Cruz, CA and driving is imperative in my life. Please help.

A:
If you have received an order of suspension for your driver's license pursuant to Vehicle Code 13953, your best option is to contact an attorney who specializes in traffic law. They can advise you on your rights and help you navigate the legal process.
At your hearing, you will have the opportunity to present evidence and argue your case. It may be helpful to gather any medical or psychological documentation that can support your claim that your anxiety affects your driving performance.
Additionally, you may want to consider reaching out to the DMV's Driver Safety Office to request a re-evaluation of your driving abilities. They may be able to provide additional resources and guidance on how to improve your skills and regain your license.
Driving with a suspended license is a serious offense that can result in additional legal consequences. It is important to take action to resolve the suspension as soon as possible.
