There are a variety of reasons why your Driver License can be suspended. Many Florida drivers are surprised to find out their license is no longer valid and has been suspended. Suspended licenses happen for many reasons other than tickets or a criminal infraction such as drunk driving. If you've had any driving related incident and believe you have completed all the necessary steps to properly comply it is a good idea to check the status of your drivers license for confirmation.
Get Your Driving Record
The Drivers License Check will only tell you the current status of your drivers license. For example - is your license 'VALID'. It will not show you the details of your driving history such as points on your license, accidents you are responsible for, driving test history and many other drivers license record details. To see those details you will need to get your driving record.
