Yeah. If your license is suspended you shouldn't be driving anywhere. It isn't restricted, its suspended, meaning it is not valid until you settle everything. If you get pulled over w/ a suspended your car can be impounded and you will be charged for driving on a suspended possibly if the cop wants to. Have seen it happen before.
Get a ride to the courthouse and DMV. Unless you're feeling lucky.

I did something similar in '98. I thought my court date was on a Friday when it was actually on Monday. I missed it, and had a warrant out for my arrest for 4 days. I turned myself in and got a new court date... so I could go to court and get a new court date.

Re: FUCK missed court date ** HELP **
The judge found you guilty in your absence. There will be no warrant for your arrest. He sentenced you without your appearance, part of your sentence is your license suspension. If the judge had issued a warrant or capias for you, you wouldn't have received the dc210 or dc225 paperwork from the court notifying you of you license suspension. No, you can't drive. Your only option to try and get a different sentence is to appeal the case. You have to go to the clerks office at the court (jurisdiction where the case is to be heard) and note your appeal. You have 15 days to note your appeal.
What was the summons for?
edit: After reading your post again, it looks like your appeal time has expired. It appears that the court suspended you for failing to pay the fine. You were tried in you absence, didn't pay the fine ( because you missed the court date and didn't realize there was outstanding fines) and the court sent the information to DMV. Your lack of payment caused DMV to suspend you for " for failure to pay fine". Go to the court, pay the fine, take that receipt to DMV, pay the reinstatement fee.
