A DUI hardship license refers to driving privileges that are granted for individuals who lost their normal driver’s licenses as part of the consequences for their conviction. Hardship privileges are, however, nothing like normal privileges. In order to qualify, certain circumstances must exist. Once a person has been approved, she is only allowed to drive for the purpose that the privileges were extended.
Reasons For Issuing Hardship Licenses
One of the primary reasons that people are granted DUI hardship licenses is so that they can continue working. The privileges are usually not granted to allow an individual to search for employment. They are also not granted to allow commercial drivers to continuing working in that capacity.
A person may be granted a DUI hardship license if she needs to drive to continue her education. Individuals who are engaged in ongoing medical treatment may also qualify.
People may be approved for DUI hardship licenses to allow them to attend probation or parole appointments. Privileges are also commonly granted for those who are engaged in drug or alcohol treatment programs.
If you have DUI charges pending, and you have a need for a hardship license, you should consult with an experienced attorney to learn how to improve your chances of getting one.
