Why is the driver's license locked for no reason?
2 Answers
Motor vehicle driver's licenses will have their services locked under the following circumstances: 1. The driver's license has a record of a single violation resulting in 12 penalty points: If this occurs, drive carefully and promptly clear the points. 2. The driver's license has an unresolved drunk driving record: Contact the traffic police promptly to resolve the drunk driving record. 3. The driver's license has an unresolved traffic accident: Typically, an unresolved traffic accident will result in the driver's license being locked. 4. The driver's license is in a suspended or revoked period: Specific inquiries can be made for resolution.
Your driver's license being locked without apparent reason might be due to some overlooked issues. I suspect it could be unresolved traffic violations, such as unpaid speeding tickets or accumulated penalty points triggering an automatic lock as a reminder. Another possibility is an expired license that wasn't renewed on time, rendering the information invalid. There's also the chance of mismatched personal details with the DMV records, like an address change that wasn't updated. I recall a friend who went through this—he forgot to handle a parking ticket, resulting in a locked license, and had to visit the traffic police station to pay the fine before it was unlocked. It's wise to regularly check your license status, either through the Traffic Management 12123 App or by visiting the DMV counter. Driving with a locked license is illegal and could lead to penalty points or worse, so address the issue promptly to avoid minor problems escalating. Additionally, identity theft or system errors might cause wrongful locks, so double-checking your details can prevent future hassles.
