Can I Still Drive After a DUI Charge in Lee's Summit?

Yes, you can usually continue to drive legally for at least 15 Days after a DUI Charge in Lees Summit. Your first court date will usually be at least a month or two from the date you are charged with DUI in Lees Summit. However the timer starts running immediately on the right to request a Drivers License Hearing to contest the potential suspension of your Missouri Driving Privileges. The time limit and procedure for requesting a DUI Drivers License Hearing in Missouri is different depending on whether you took a breath test or refused it.

In Missouri you have fifteen days from the date of a chemical test failure to request a Drivers License Hearing. If the Officer marked you down as a Refusal, a Petition for Review must be filed in Circuit Court within 30 days.

If you took a breath test and failed it by blowing a .08 or above, the Arresting Officer should have served you with a 15-Day Temporary Driver Permit (Missouri DOR Form 2385). The request for a Drivers License Hearing must be made within fifteen days of the date on this form.

If it is alleged that you refused to take a breath or blood test, a request for a Drivers License is different. A Petition for Review must be filed within 30 days in Jackson County Circuit Court if law enforcement says you refused to cooperate and submit a sample.

Note: Failure to Request a Drivers License Within the time period will result in the forfeiture of the right to review and the automatic suspension of your Missouri Driving Privileges no matter what the ultimate outcome of the criminal case in court.

When you hire The Law Offices of Charles R. Green one of the first steps we take on your behalf is to request a Drivers License Hearing with the Missouri Department of Revenue. This allows you to continue to drive legally and protects your right to have a Drivers License Hearing.

Lee's Summit Information

Lee's Summit is located primarily in Jackson County, Missouri; a small portion of the city falls in Cass County as well. With less than 100,000 residents, Lee's Summit offers its residents a small-town atmosphere with the opportunities of the greater Kansas City metropolitan area. Lee's Summit is the sixth most populated city in Missouri. According to CNN and Money Magazine, Lee's Summit is 27th on the country's list of best cities to live in.

After the Civil War, the area became known as "Strother," but the town eventually changed its name to Lee's Summit after a local postmaster, Dr. Pleasant John Graves Lea. Although the local residents requested the name "Lea's Summit," a spelling mistake resulted in town's current title: Lee's Summit. Historians believe that Summit was included in the name because the town was built on approximately the highest point on the Missouri Pacific Railroad between Kansas City and St. Louis.

Today, Lee's Summit is known for its historic downtown area, local attractions, and vibrant cultural community. Visitors can experience local history at the Civil War Battle of Lone Jack Site, the Lee's Summit Historic Cemetery, and other locations.
