YONKERS DWI DEFENSE ATTORNEY
THE NEW YORK CONDITIONAL LICENSE
If you get charged with an alcohol- or drug-related driving violation, you can apply for a conditional license only if you enroll in the state's Drinking Driver Program (DDP).
A restricted license limits your driving to the following situations:
To and from work.
During work if your job requires driving.
To and from class at a recognized school or college.
To transport your child to and from a child care facility.
To and from DDP classes.
To and from court-ordered probation requirements.
To and from a DMV office for business pertaining to your restricted license.
During the three-hour weekly period designated on your restricted license.
To and from a medical facility for you or a family member (must be certified by a physician).
The DMV or a judge will decide if you are eligible for this option, but you may also want to consult an attorney experienced with restricted licenses.
