So listen, what I'm getting back on my end is that your license is suspended as well. >> Your license? >> Yep. Correct. As well as your registration. >> Your registration. >> My registration. >> So hold on. >> I'm so sorry. >> Your registration is normally suspended because you either don't have insurance on your car or the insurance lapsed or you ended up switching insuranceances and the DMV didn't get a hold of it and they don't think that you have insurance. So, I don't know what the aspect might be as to why it is suspended. I'm having my dispatcher check right now. >> Thank you. >> But did you know that your license was suspended? >> No, I didn't. I had no idea cuz I don't even have any points or anything on my license. >> Reesei, thank you. So, you it's saying that you you haven't had insurance since August.

First, we just want to run the test just make sure that you're good and everything and then if you're good, we'll put you back in the car and then uh you could pull it up. Okay. >> Can you just uh reiterate how my license is suspended? >> Uh it's because you are not insured. Your motor vehicle is not insured. So, your registration got suspended in August and then your license got suspended because you don't have insurance on your car in September. >> Okay. Sorry about that. So, if I do have insurance, which I'm sure I have insurance because I just called them recently about uh a thing that I had to dispute or whatever. So, what would I have to do with my license moving forward? >> You'd have to go to DMV and get it re reinstated. >> Reinstated. >> Yeah. Restored. >> Do it online.
