Yeah that's possible. For everyone I know who has had his license revoked, the actual reason has been DWI. (I neither know nor particularly care what the relative averages are between DWI and "innocently" not paying speeding tickets. If you ask me DWI is every bit as much an overstated sin as speeding, only it's been inflated by the outrage industry rather than the police.) Involving a lawyer in those cases can be the difference between a 6-month suspension and a 5-year revocation. Not hiring an attorney would be an even more questionable decision than the original DWI.
