What Right Law Group attorneys say

There are ways that the DMV can also get to your license for having certain charges like vehicular assaults and things that are compounded DUIs, basically, and they can revoke your license for longer periods of time. But the most common way we see the DMV affected or your license affected by criminal cases are by getting points by failing to make child support payments, and DUI related things like having a high BAC or being charged with DUI at all. And then the other way is by having that OJ W put in place and then having your license pulled.
