Expert Advice When You Need It Most

Can you drive in CA with an valid out of state license when a prior CA license is expired and suspended?

I have a valid drivers license outside of CA and I no longer live in CA. Can I drive through CA if an older CA license was suspended and expired? Thank you in advance.

Additional information
If the license was suspended and then the expiration date on the license passes, is the license expired or suspended? In this case, and if the out of state license was not impacted at all, could one drive in with this out of state license in California?

Your old CA license either was suspended or expired, not both. If it was suspended and you did nothing to reinstate the license than your DL outside CA may be affected. If it expired by passage of time you have no problem as long as you don't become a resident of CA.
