Re: can you lose your driver's license

Yes, for all of the reasons Mr. Bradie lists in his answer, and also, if the judgment was against you for operation of a motor vehicle, your license can be suspended for 2 years. The only way to avoid this is to reach a payout agreement with the judgment creditor or file bankruptcy and discharge the debt.
