    Your new state will not give you a license until any suspension in the other state is complete.

    Probably not. All states have access to your driving record and the penalties that were imposed by the state in which the infraction occurred. One state will not override a conviction made by another state.

    If that were true, people convicted of murder could just move to states that don’t have the death penalty.

    That’s not the way it works.

    If your license is suspended in one State, it is suspended in all States until all the terms of the conviction are met.

    The law in my state is that you must resolve all charges against your license in one state before you can receive a driver license in another. To my understanding, this is the principal followed by all states. Call the local DMV to confirm the new state’s requirements in this situation, and then take whatever actions you are responsible for in the prior state to resolve the penalty.

    Unfortunately, where ever you do the crime, that’s where you will do the time, albeit, either behind bars or on probation.
