My husband had his driver's license suspended in New York because we temporarily moved to North Carolina and switched our insurance policy but kept our NY registration. We did not receive a suspension notice because our address was not updated in the system. Now my husband's license has been suspended for three months and we can't register the car for seven months!
Hello ****, this seems like a complex situation. Did your husband have any outstanding tickets or violations in New York before the suspension was issued?
