YLS In Brief

In Arkansas, upon arrest for Driving While Intoxicated, law enforcement is required to seize your license and issue you a temporary permit to drive. See A.C.A. 5-65-403 generally.

However, this permit is only good for 30 days. You MUST request a hearing within 7 calendar days of recieving this permit to challenge your suspension. If you do not ask for a hearing you are barred from challenging your license suspension administratively.

It is important you see an experienced Arkansas DWI defense attorney within 7 days so that he can discuss this option with you.
