LIMITED LICENSE WAITING PERIODS
Click
here or on the following link to see the
chart showing waiting periods which are
required before a DWI defendant is allowed to get a limited license
- sometimes called a hardship license. This has to be one of
the most useful items on my entire site. As far as I know, it's not
available anywhere else on line. Nothing else I've ever seen
summarizes the rules about temporary driver licenses as well. It is
a fax which I obtained from one of the driver
evaluators at the Department of Public Safety. It's actually
the second one I have received, since the first one became outdated
after a recent change of the law. I wondered for years how the
driver evaluators could keep such good track of the rules, and I
finally asked an evaluator one day if he had some sort of handout he
was using. The guy not only had it, but offered to fax me a copy.
You'd think they would post this somewhere on the state web site,
but so far I have not found it.
A limited license can be used to drive to and from work or to and
from school. It can also be used for school-related or
work-related driving. For example, if you have to bring a
child to day care so you can work, dropping and picking up from day
care can be included. To get this license you have to:
-
Pass the DWI Test;
-
Pay the reinstatement fee;
-
And talk with a Driver Evaluator about where you need to go and when.
The license will specify where and when you can drive, and you would be well advised to stay within those limits.
