What effect does a Michigan conviction for Impaired driving have on a Kentucky driver?
Anonymous5 views2 answers
Obviously the fines/costs and driver's responsibility fees will have to be paid to Michigan, and I know that Michigan DMV will notify Kentucky of the conviction, but will Kentucky take sanctions against the person for the out of state DUI conviction?
If DMV is organized, Michigan will put an hold on your license that will result in your Kentucky license being suspended. You'll need a Michigan lawyer to get the hold off your license.
Mind you, this is hit or miss. Sometimes it catches, sometimes it doesn't.
You're referring to the Interstate Compact. Yes, unless there is an administrative error (which can and does happen), your license will be suspended/revoked in KY as a result in MI. Once the revocation period is over and you have cleared your fines and costs, you should be able to get a letter from MI DMV releasing the hold and KY will then release yours. Best of luck.
