A:
Under California law, if your driving privileges are suspended in California, you are generally not allowed to drive in the state with a license from another state, such as Utah. The suspension of your California license means that the state has determined you're ineligible to drive on its roads. This applies regardless of whether you have a valid license from another state.
However, the specific details of your suspension and individual circumstances might affect this general rule. For instance, there might be exceptions based on the reason for your suspension or other legal considerations. It's recommended to consult with a legal professional who can review the details of your situation and provide tailored advice.
In the meantime, it's wise to avoid driving in California with a suspended California license to prevent further legal complications. If you're found driving with a suspended license, you could face additional penalties.
