Causes of Driver's License Suspensions in Indiana
In the state of Indiana, your driver's license may be suspended or revoked for a variety of reasons. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Accumulating 20 points on your license within a two-year period
- Being convicted of certain traffic offenses, such as DUI or reckless driving
- Failure to pay child support
- Failure to appear in court
- Violating probation or parole
If your license is suspended for any reason, you will receive notice from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) outlining the cause and duration of your suspension. It is important to state that even if the BMV has not notified you of a suspension, you are still responsible for knowing about the action and complying with its orders.

Driving with a Suspended License

Sentencing for these charges can include lengthy incarceration and fines of thousands of dollars.
