STATE OF ARKANSAS OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL JUSTICE BUILDING, LITTLE ROCK 72201 STEVE CLARK (501) 371-2007 ATTORNEY GENERAL March 5, 1985 OPINION NO. 85-66 Honorable J. Sturgis Miller State Representative House of Representatives State Capitol Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 Dear Representative Miller: This is in response to your inquiry whereby you submitted the following: When a person's drivers license has been suspended ox revoked after a conviction of driving while intoxicated, during the time of suspension, does that person have a legal right to operate any type of motor vehicle, including motorcycles and motor-driven cycles? A person would have a.legal right to operate a motor-driven cycle or motorized bicycle on the condition that the operation of such vehicle is not in violation of local ordinances or. state laws which prohibit the operation of such vehicles on certain roadways. Act 549 of 1983 suspends or revokes a person's motor vehicle operator's license upon conviction of a violation of the Act. However, due to Act 819 of 1979, which repealed Section 4 of Act 201 of 1959,-. the suspension or revocation would have no effect on the operation of a motor-driven cycle or motorized bicycle, provided that the motor does not produce in excess of "five and one-half (5 1/2) brake horsepower, because an operator's license is not required to operate such vehicles. The foregoing opinion, which I hereby approve, was prepared by Assistant Attorney General Kent Jolliff. SCipas
