DUI
Entitled to a hearing:
- You are entitled to a hearing before a judge if you file a written request to challenge your summary suspension within 90 days from when you received notice of the suspension.
DRIVING WHILE SUSPENDED:
- New legislation now makes it a felony to drive while your license is suspended for a DUI related offense.*
3. JUDICIAL DRIVING PERMIT:
- If you are considered a first offender, you may be eligible for a Judicial Driving Permit (JDP).
- A JDP allows you to (a) drive to and from work and in the scope of your employment; (b) to and from medical and/or alcohol treatment; and/or (c) to and from school.
To receive a JDP, you must submit a Petition and:
Alcohol evaluation.
And one or more of the following:
A letter from your employer stating the days and hours you work;
A certified class schedule; and/or
A letter from a counseling/medical agency stating days/hours of treatment or counseling.
Effective Date of the JDP:
- The JDP starts after the first 30 days of the suspension. It is effective to the end of the suspension.
- Thus, even with a JDP you cannot drive at all for the first 30 days of the suspension.
*Important restrictions and conditions apply. Please call for complete details. |
