Will My License Be Revoked Or Suspended?

Another consequence of DWI/DUI is the loss of your license. In Kansas and Missouri, if your blood alcohol content is more than .08% in Kansas or .08% in Missouri, the state requires the police officer to take your license immediately. If you refuse a breath test the officer will likewise take you license immediately, and your license is gone for a year. This can be reviewed, but you have to ask for a review immediately. In Missouri you have 15 days to request a review in writing. In Kansas you have only 10 days. If you miss the deadline, you will have no further chance of appeal. Suspension or revocation of your license can last from 30 days to a year, or perhaps even longer. The rules covering loss of license are too complicated to explain here. If you have questions about them, you'll need to speak with an attorney.
