Click here to read the original on HubPages "I get many calls from people who get DUI’s in California, and get their California driver’s license suspended, but then move out of California to another state. Then they find out that state won’t give them a license because of the California suspension.

Reinstate Your Out-of-State License-Complete the 1650 Waiver Packet

You are eligible for the 1650 waiver packet after your suspension is up. Usually you request a packet about one month before your suspension is up. After you have a 1650 waiver packet, you are not required to do classes for the DMV.  You get one in a lifetime. This will terminate the action against the driver's license. This waives privileges to have a license or drive in California for three years. If you want a license within 3 years you have to do classes in California.

The report covers many counties, but what isn't clear is how many of those drunk driving arrests are people that don't even live in the State of Californi...
