If your driver's licence is suspended because of a DUI, you are entitled to have a hearing with the state department of transportation or department of motor vehicles to determine whether that suspension will stay in effect or whether you will get your licence back. Typically, after a DUI arrest you have a limited number of days in which to request that hearing. Sometimes it's seven days, sometimes it's ten days, and in some states it's 30 days. If you fail to request that hearing within that time period then you will forfeit your right to a hearing, and at the point there is not much you can do about the licence suspension.
