Oregon License Suspension Hearings for DUII Arrest

By: Robert Harris

If you're arrested for a DUII in Oregon you were asked to take a breath test. If you failed the test, or refused to take it, your license was suspended for anywhere from 90 days to three years. The only to way to avoid the suspension is to ask for, and win, a DMV hearing.

Strict Time Limits Apply

If you're arrested for a DUII you were likely asked to take a breath test. If you refused the test, or took it and blew a .08 or higher, you were given a notice of license suspension by the officer. That suspension starts thirty days after your arrest. The suspension is from 90 days to three years, depending on your prior record, and whether you failed the test or refused to take it. The only way to avoid a suspension is to request, and win, a DMV hearing. You have to request the hearing within 10 days of your arrest. If you fail to ask for the hearing, or make a mistake in how you ask for the hearing, then you lose your right to object to the suspension and you'll lose your license. If you're going to contest the suspension, you should consider hiring a knowledgeable lawyer to request the hearing on your behalf.
