A: If your Class A driver's license was suspended in California and you were not notified of the suspension, you may be able to request a hearing to challenge the suspension and have it lifted.

To request a hearing, you will need to submit a written request to the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) within a certain time period, typically within 10 days of receiving notice of the suspension. However, since you were not notified of the suspension, you may be able to argue that the time period for requesting a hearing should be extended.

You may also want to consult with an attorney who specializes in DMV and driver's license issues to evaluate your options and represent you at the hearing. An attorney can help you prepare a strong case and present evidence and arguments to challenge the suspension.

In addition to requesting a hearing, you will also need to address the reason for the suspension, such as any outstanding fees or penalties. You may want to contact the DMV and find out what steps you need to take to resolve any outstanding issues and reinstate your driver's license.

Overall, it's important to act quickly and seek legal advice to protect your rights and interests.
