What Is A Restricted Driver’s License?

If you have been convicted of a Virginia DUI, chances are that your driver's license was suspended or revoked. But you may be allowed to continue to drive with a restricted driver's license. A restricted license allows DUI offenders to drive under limited conditions.

For instance, with a restricted license you may be permitted to drive to work every day, or to pick your children up from school. To obtain a restricted driver's license, you will have to petition the judge at the time of your Virginia DUI conviction.

In order to receive your Virginia restricted driver's license, you will have to meet certain conditions. For instance, you will have to successfully complete a Virginia Alcohol Safety program. You will also have to pay the fees and fines required for your restricted license. The conditions of your license will be determined by a court, and they vary from case to case.
