Yes, in many DUI cases, it is possible to obtain a restricted driver’s license after a suspension. California offers two main types of restricted licenses for DUI-related suspensions, depending on the circumstances of the arrest and the option you choose.
One option is an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) restricted license. With this option, eligible drivers may continue driving without serving a full suspension period, as long as an IID is installed in the vehicle.
The second option is a work and DUI program restricted license. This type of restricted license allows driving to and from work, during the course of employment, and to and from required DUI education or treatment programs.
Eligibility and timing for a restricted license can vary based on factors such as prior DUI history, test refusal, and DMV proceedings. An experienced DUI attorney can help determine which option may apply and ensure all deadlines are met.
