Limited Driving
I understand how hard it can be to live without your normal mode of transportation. This is why I have spend countless hours dedicating my time to helping clients that have been convicted of a DUI receive limited driving privileges. Instead of having your license completely suspended, I will work to see that you are able to utilize your license under restricted conditions, such as going to work, school, or other engagements. Call immediately so that I can review your case today.
One of the most punitive aspects of a DUI case is the effect on a person’s California Driver’s License. Although the state treats driving as a privilege and not a right, few privileges are more important. Although much is made of public transportation few people have ever really used it. To travel from home in Laguna to work in Westminster takes a considerable amount of time.
An arrest for DUI can put into motion at least 3 possible suspensions. They are:
- Suspensions through the DMV by way of administrative per se
- Suspensions through convictions in court
- Suspensions resulting from too many points on the driving record
In addition, suspensions for those persons under 21 years of age can be different from those over 21 years of age.
The law allows many opportunities for a knowledgeable defense attorney to decrease, or in some circumstances do away with, driving suspensions. Obtaining a restricted license at t eh earliest possible opportunity can make the difference between a good job and unemployment.
