Need some opinions

If I have a valid CDL in the state of NY but the state of maine has my driving privelages suspended will I get in big trouble if I get pulled over in NY or any state other than Maine? (driving a non cdl vehicle)

I am working at getting my suspension cleared up in Maine (which is apparently something left over from a dui I got 20 years ago in that state which should have been all cleared up) but until that point I need to know if im risking jail time or big fines or losing my license. I have a spotless driving and criminal record for the past 20 years, the DUI is my only screw up.

Words cannot describe how pissed off I am at Maine right now. I have been trying to work with them on the phone and its as if none of them have a brain ... they all stare at a computer screen like a bunch of friggin zombies reading off whatever pops up in front of them.

New York has been perfectly reasonable and easy to work with, I am fine as far as they are concerned, but talking to Maine is .......

 

My license is from New York and it always has been. I was in Maine because I was stationed there in the Navy.

I got a dui in 1990. I went to court for it, paid my fine, and then the Navy sent me to Iraq for the first gulf war. NY suspended my drivers license because of the dui. A one year automatic suspension and I had to do a alcohol and drug evaluation program before i could get my license back.
While overseas in the NAVY i did a drug/alcohol course and when I returned home to NY i applied for my license and the state of NY accepted the navy course in lieu of the state course. I got my license back in 1991 ...which I have had ever since that time.
I have no further tickets of any type and no further incidents involving any sort of alcohol or drugs ... I even quit smoking 5 years ago. I have been pulled over though and the cops have run my license and it's been renewed several times through DMV so I know for a fact my NY license has been good all these years.

So now its 2o years later and I'm in school to get a cdl and the lady at DMV while I'm getting my permit says she cant give it to me cause Im flagged as suspended in the state of maine ... i had a flag on the NDR which doesnt show up on NY's regular driving abstract apparently.
So I call Maine and now they want proof I went through a course and want me to have sr-22 insurance for 3 years and pay a 50 dollar reinstatement fee ......
There aren't any outstanding tickets or warrants for me in Maine, this is purely an administrative issue.

Im like wtf ... i went through a course or NY would have never given me my license back. I have 20 years I can prove I've had insurance because it's mandatory in NY to have a vehicle registered. SR-22 insurance doesnt even exist in New York state. NY insurance laws are already the equivalent of the sr-22 requirements.

I guess I'm going to have to get a lawyer to deal with Maine.
