Know your driver’s license status, so you don’t get arrested this summer.
“You wouldn’t believe how many frantic calls for help my office gets, every summer, because a father, son, or husband got locked up for driving with a suspended license,” said Senator Felder. “At that point, there is no choice except to go through the legal system. It is traumatic, stressful, and very expensive to resolve, but it can all be avoided entirely by checking your driver’s license at my office, for free.”
Check if your license is 100% clean, at no cost:
1. Call Senator Felder’s office at 718-253-2015 or email [email protected]
2. Provide your name, address, and driver’s license ID number
NYS Department of Motor Vehicles will check your driver’s license for you, and if it is suspended, we will give you all the information you need to fix the problem right away.
“Anyone who gets pulled over for any minor traffic violation and is found to have a suspended license gets arrested,” cautions Senator Felder. “People make mistakes, and they miss the official notice sent by mail. You will only know if you check.”
Restoring your driving privilege is now simpler and more affordable with income-based payment plans offered by DMV, under a law co-sponsored by Senator Felder.
Driver’s information is also accessible online with a myDMV account at www.dmv.ny.gov
