Please help me out with this terrible situation. I will be brief with my questions. Please bear with me.
Since May 2006 – I live in Connecticut but did not change the driver's license to connecticut and kept my NJ license.
October 2006 – received DUI and Refusal to submit breath test tickets on New Jersey driver’s license in New Jersey.
October 2006 to January 2007 – 4 court visits with lawyer and received this plea bargain…DUI charges will be dismissed and conviction of Refusal to submit breath test.
January 2007 – As per lawyer’s advice I went to Connecticut DMV and changed my driver’s license to Connecticut driver’s license and turned my NJ driver’s license in.
February 2007 – I will accept the plea bargain offered by judge.
My questions are as follow:-
1. I changed my driver’s license from New Jersey to Connecticut when my driving privileges were not suspended. My DUI charges are dismissed. Will refusal to submit breath test in NJ have any effect on my CT driver’s license?
2. Refusal to submit breath test is an implied consent violation. Can it be considered as crime including moral turpitude? There is no Jail time for this offense. I am asking because I am a permanent resident (green card holder) and have applied for US citizenship.
3. During my license suspension in NJ, can I go out of the country and re-enter without any trouble? There is 7 months license suspension in NJ with no jail time. There is no Jail sentence for this crime at all.
Your replies and help will be much appreciated
