The being permited to drive on a state's highways is not a god-given right from the heavens; it comes from the State House, and is called a "privilage."

It is not a right. Once you get past that post-adolescent point, it is a lot easer to understand the rules of the road. (and that they count toward your insurance rates, points for ever driving without real harassment: probablly earned.)

So, given the question, 'how can a state supend a license that is not valid?'. Well, probabally the holder of the license when in control of a vehicle, just should have been arrested when the on-board computer came up with the information about the already invalid license.

Then it'd be an easer question. Getting out of jail is simple, when there are neither property damage, tissue damage or really serious intangable damages....

In most states: driving without a license, driving without a valid license, just being in control of a vehicle without a valid liscense...can be very expensive for a very long time.

It's sort of minor if you are young enough and like public transportation.

If a state suspends a license which is not valid in the first place, and the State knows it, you should generally chalk it up to the entrenched layers of government which just missed that the license was invalid in the first place and somebody was driving on it.

The person should consider themselves fortunate that they are not in the slammer.

Wow. Grumpy ol SOB huh?

Can a state suspend an out of state license?

Yes, it is possible. The state that you were arrested or ticketed in can send documents to the department of transporation in your state requesting suspension if the offense warranted it. The thing that has to be looked at is "was the offense committed in the current state a suspendable offense in your state." If not, your state may not suspend your license. But you may be restricted from driving in the offense state. This is a common occurrence with OWI/DWI convictions, and most states will suspend your license for a conviction on this offense in another state.
