When Can You Apply for a SPECIAL Driving Permit?

Cindy CastilloFAQs

Provided you meet the necessary requirements, a special driving permit can be issued to you if you install an ignition interlock device on your vehicle. Necessary requirements would include when an arrest for DUI has occurred, you consented to a breath/blood test, it is the first DUI within SEVEN years, the DUI did not result in serious physical injury or death, and you have completed a drug or alcohol screening.  In order to qualify, you must waive your right to an administrative license suspension hearing.  Talk with your attorney about whether this is a good option for you and if so, which screener you should use.
