If you never surrendered your license, you may not be getting credit towards your 18-month suspension. Request a Restoration Requirements letter from PennDOT by calling 1-800-932-4600 (in-state) or (717) 412-5300 (out-of-state). You can also get this information at the following website: http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/suspensionsCenter/re...
I am sure that you are aware of the 60-day minimum jail sentence for driving under a DUI-related suspension (90 days if your BAC is > or = 0.02%). -Bill 2 people marked this answer as good

You can apply for a credit hearing with PennDOT, but they are very difficult to successfully argue as the statute is very clear. Failure to surrender all driver's licensing products will result in no credit being received towards suspension.

Contact PennDot to get a form for applying for license reinstatement. They may have them at the Driver's License Center where you get your picture taken or at a State Police Barracks. The person behind the counter may also be able to look up your driving record and confirm that you are eligible for reinstatement. If you are a member of the AAA, that organization may be able to help also.
