Handling Crashes
You have probably read about all of the other things that you can experience after a car crash in Michigan. We have discussed how you should handle protecting your rights during crashes and in case of collisions.
There is one unique thing that you should know, however, that does not involve your insurance agent or your insurance company or the other party. It involves the Secretary of State.
The Michigan Vehicle Code provides that the Secretary of State is allowed to reexamine drivers that have been involved in car crashes.
Any crash that resulted in the fatality where the crash report indicates that you are the party at fault or by the fact that you are drinking while driving, you may be required by the Secretary of State to subject yourself to a driver assessment reexamination.
Why is there a driver assessment reexamination?
There is a driver assessment reexamination so that the State can assess if your license should be restricted, suspended, or revoked.
How many crashes before a driver’s license gets suspended?
If you have been involved in three or more at-fault crashes, you should expect that you need to get the driver assessment reexamination again to assess your ability. There is no guarantee that your license will be reinstated after a certain number of at-fault crashes.
