The arresting officer gave me an "Order of Suspension and Temporary License". What does this mean?
When you were arrested, the arresting officer probably confiscated your driver's license. In return he gave you a piece of paper titled "Order of Suspension and Temporary License". This allows you to drive legally for 30 days from the date you were given this order.

What's a DMV hearing and how long do I have to request one?
The DMV hearing is your chance to fight to keep your license from being suspended or revoked after your temporary license expires. This hearing must be requested from the DMV within 10 calendar dates from the date of your arrest. If you delay and miss the deadline, you cannot have a DMV hearing and your license will be suspended or revoked after the first 30 days.

What happens if I lose my DMV hearing?

How long is the license suspension if I refused to take the chemical test?
