This may not stir a lot of sympathy with you all, but I need some real help.
Over a year ago, when I received the final notice of my divorce, I got picked up in Hillsborough County for DUI. I wouldn't take a test, so my license was suspended for a year.
I was twice picked up for driving on a suspended license.
I paid a fine, spent some week-ends in jail, and went a year without driving.
My license was restored to me a few weeks ago.
----------
Then, out of the clear blue, I was told that my license was going to be suspended for a year again because I was a repeat offender.
When my license was restored I got a new job as an auto technician and part of my job is to test drive the cars I repair. Without a driver's license I will probably lose this job.
I am also a single parent and there are times when I need to go to my child's school.
I was told by the people who had monitored my suspension, taking driving classes, etc. that there is no way that I can get a limited use license so I can at least drive to work and do my job at work.
The woman I talked to said there was NO WAY to appeal her decision.
------------
Can anyone please help me?
Is there ANYTHING I can do?
Can I get a lawyer and appeal to some judge to give me some kind of restricted use license?
I've been very straight and am working hard to turn my life around, but it is very frustrating to have to lose my job and do who knows what to make ends meet just when I thought things would be going good again.
Any help would be appreciated!
