Virginia law section 46.2-1705 outlines the procedures and protections related to suspending, revoking, canceling, or refusing to renew a driver's license. It requires written notice, a hearing opportunity, and specifies timelines for action and response. The law ensures licensees are informed and have a chance to contest administrative actions against their licenses.
You are entitled to receive written notice of the action and an opportunity for an administrative hearing to contest the suspension or revocation.
You have 30 days from the date of notice to request a hearing. If no request is made within this period, the order becomes effective.
Yes, requesting a timely hearing automatically stays the enforcement of the suspension or revocation until after the hearing.
Yes, a revoked licensee may reapply after a period determined by the Department of Motor Vehicles, subject to certain conditions.
