Do i have to retake my road and written test in order to reapply for a drivers license after revocation from a DWAI? I got a DWAI 5 years ago in 2019. I had an automatic 1 year loss of license after refusing the breathalyzer. I still have not paid my civil penalties, but should be able to in a month or two. Once I pay my civil penalties, do I have to retake the road test/written test to get my license back? Or can I have it just restored once I pay the penalties?Anonymous · June 20, 2024 · 1 reply
