IMPLIED CONSENT PETITIONS

When a person has had their driving privileges taken away by the state (the Department of Public Safety), an implied consent petition is the proper channel to argue against the reason for revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a person’s driver’s license. There are numerous reasons and ways that your license can be revoked, suspended or cancelled: moving violations and traffic infractions, driving under the influence or while intoxicated, fleeing police in a motor vehicle, suspension for unpaid court fines and fees, and others.

​

Being unable to drive affects a person’s ability to function in day-to-day life, especially when public transportation is not available. It is important that implied consent petitions state sufficient relevant facts and citations to legal precedent that allows the judge or administrative judge to change a person’s license status. It is noteworthy that in the case of implied consent petitions, this must be filed within 60 days of the adverse license action—there is often little time to make a decision that will have effects lasting from 90 days to a matter of years depending on the offense(s) and prior revocations/suspensions.

Kyle Murray has won against the Attorney General's Office resulting in driver's license reinstatement. The Attorney General’s Office has a specific attorney-staff who handles implied consent and licensure matters. No matter what any other attorney tells you, the odds of success are not high with implied consent petitions, but without a lawyer, the odds are slim to none.
