text: not such a simple driving with a suspended license case, two states, involving an unpaid driver responsibilty? fee. my husband was working on a semi tire last night at around midnight. he asked the guy to pull his truck off the road a bit more because it was on a major highway, when my husband pulled around to start the work, he hit a mile marker with his service truck, the marker was low, it was dark... anyhow, it was witnessed by police who pulled over and ran his license, which is still a michigan license since he hasn't had the proper documentation to get a florida license, ie: birth record. he has a clean record except for a couple no proof tickets, which he paid. turns out michigan has what is called a driver responsibility fee, i don't know of any other states that have it, but i'm sure they do. the fee is past due, so as of 5-22-06 his michigan license was suspended. when the florida (martin county) police ran his license it showed up as suspended, they arrested him and i had to pay $200.00 to get him out of jail, now he has a court date of july 7th. what will happen? he will need to pay that no proof of insurance/driver responsibility fee to michigan, plus pay for a "clearance", which is about 35 bucks and proves the fine has been paid, (and a "reinstatment" fee to sec. of state in michigan in order to get his michigan license back, or get that birth certificate he needs in order to get the florida license).  i'm sure if he explains his situation to the judge, he'll get off with court costs at the most, and possibly have to show that he has taken care of it all by such and such date.  he'll be fine.  the good news is that his license was only suspended because of an unpaid fee, not points.
