For those suspensions with a set time limit, there is not much that you can do. You have to wait things out.
Once your license suspension has ended, there are still a few more steps that you have to take in order to avoid more ire from the state. You must:
Trying to drive before you complete all of these steps could just get you into even more trouble.
