Hardship Licenses
How a Worcester DUI Lawyer Can Help
Has your license been suspended? Would you like to learn more about your options in obtaining a limited license that would enable you to drive for necessary purposes?
If your driver's license has been suspended in conjunction with an OUI/DUI arrest and conviction, you may be eligible to apply for a Hardship License. Licenses of this kind are referred to by a number of different names, including: Cinderella license, work license, day license or limited license. It is essentially a driver's license that enables you to drive for limited purposes only: to attend school, seek medical care or go to work. You are only allowed to drive for 12 hours a day.
If you are a Repeat Offender and have multiple DUI convictions on your record, you will also be required to install an Ignition Interlock Device in your vehicle, which would restrict you from starting the vehicle unless you supply a clean breath sample into a Breathalyzer device.
