If I was in an uninsured wreck years ago and I am unable to get a license until the other party’s insurance company give the DMV permission, what can I do?
I was uninsured and got in a car wreck years ago. The other party’s insurance company sued me for the damages and I cannot get a driver’s license until they give the DMV permission or until 10 years after they filed the suit. Is there any other option available to me aside from paying the insurance company or waiting?

Many states have statutes concerning the situation that you were in where you were held to be at fault for the accident where a judgment resulted against you. If you cannot get permission from the judgment creditor to the department of motor vehicles for you to get your driver's license back, your other option is to pay off the judgment against you and get a written satisfaction of judgment.
