***TRAFFIC LAW*** HELLO COMMUNITY, I HAD AN AUTO ACCIDENT AT THE AGE OF 17, I had no license, or insurance, so the brand new car that hit me, ya hit me, was totalled It didn't matter,I got hit with the full cost of the car $ 11.000, or so 38 years ago, at 17 it may of well been $11.000.000, It wasn't getting paid so the years went by got married had kids I still drove since wife had legal car got a few driving under suspension fines through out the years, well now the lien is gone. I remember they said the lien holder had to renew it every year or it would seize, I guess nobody renewed. so how do I go about getting my license finally ?

While the lien may have not been renewed there may have been fees and penalties that applied. A visit to your local DMV can guide you as to your status, or calling the court clerks office that administered the lien. Local laws do apply.
