Restricted Driving Privilege (RDP)

If you have been convicted for the first offense of DUI/DWI you are eligible for a Restricted Driving Privilege. There are basically two ways that you can obtain this privilege. After serving the initial 30 days of your 90-day suspension you can obtain an RDP by filing a proof of SR-22 insurance with the Department of Revenue. Alternatively, you may obtain an RDP immediately which covers the entire 90 day suspension period by filing a proof of SR-22 insurance and installing an ignition interlock in your vehicle for the 90 day period. If you have more than one alcohol-related conviction you are not eligible for an RDP but may still apply for a Limited Driving Privilege.


5 and 10-Year License Reinstatement

If your driver's license has been denied for a period of five or ten years, you must obtain a court order to get your license back. This requires filing a petition in the Circuit Court of the county in which you obtained your last DWI conviction. At some point, the court will hold a hearing where the judge will decide whether you driving would pose a threat to public safety. If you are nearing the end of your period of denial you should begin the process of seeking a court order so that you can have your license back on the very first day you are eligible. Call us today for a free assessment of your case so that we get you legally driving as soon as you are eligible.

If you have only served a portion of your five or ten-year denial you may still have options. In most cases, you will likely be eligible for a limited driving privilege during this intervening period. The only caveat is that anyone with a felony conviction on their driving record must wait five years before they can file a petition for a limited driving privilege.
