Suspensión de licencia por falta de pago de sentencia judicial

Explicación Simple

Si no pagas una deuda que te ordenó un juez, puedes perder tu licencia de conducir. Pero si estudias o trabajas, puedes pedir un permiso especial para manejar solo para ir a esos lugares.

Es como cuando te castigan sin salir de casa por romper algo, pero te permiten salir solo para ir a la escuela o al trabajo.

Ejemplo Práctico

María tuvo un accidente y no pudo pagar la multa que le impuso el juez. Como resultado, su licencia fue suspendida. Sin embargo, ella estudia en la universidad y trabaja, así que solicitó un permiso especial para poder manejar solo a esos lugares.

Penalidades

Si no pagas la deuda, tu licencia será suspendida; no hay otras penalidades mencionadas.

SECTION 56-9-430. Suspension of driver's license or privilege and registration for nonpayment of judgment; special restricted driver's licenses. (A) The Department of Motor Vehicles upon receipt of a certified copy of judgment shall suspend the license and registration and any nonresident's operating privilege of any person against whom the judgment was rendered, except as otherwise provided in Sections 56-9-440 to 56-9-460 and 56-9-490. (B)(1) If a person is employed or enrolled in a college or university at any time while his driver's license is suspended pursuant to this section, he may apply for a special restricted driver's license permitting him to drive only to and from work or his place of education and in the course of his employment or education during the period of suspension. The department may issue the special restricted driver's license only upon a showing by the person that he is employed or enrolled in a college or university, and that he lives further than one mile from his place of employment or place of education. (2) If the department issues a special restricted driver's license, it shall designate reasonable restrictions on the times during which and routes on which the person may operate a motor vehicle. A change in the employment hours, place of employment, status as a student, or residence must be reported immediately to the department by the licensee. (3) The fee for each special restricted driver's license is one hundred dollars, but no additional fee is due because of changes in the place and hours of employment, education, or residence. Of this fee twenty dollars must be distributed to the general fund and eighty dollars must be placed by the Comptroller General into a special restricted account to be used by the Department of Motor Vehicles
