Restricted driving privileges
Restricted driving privileges is usually controlled by a motor-vehicle agency notice or order. Start with the exact document rather than a nationwide deadline or penalty chart.
Documents to locate
- Restriction order/permit
- Allowed purposes/hours/routes
- Interlock requirement
- Insurance proof
- Expiration date
Questions to verify
- Exactly where and when may the person drive?
- What documents must be carried?
- What ends or expands the restriction?
Keep court and license files separate
The driver-license process can be separate from the criminal prosecution. Keep agency notices, hearing records, and reinstatement proof in a distinct file unless local counsel tells you to combine them.
