Question:

What is a restricted driver's license and probation in the context of DUI sentencing?

 

Answer: (1)

Individuals who have been charged with DUI and have had their driver's license suspended may be allowed to apply for a dui restricted license, which would permit them to drive solely to specific locations or activities such as an alcohol rehabilitation program or their job.  Where probation is imposed, as is often the case for individuals convicted of DIU for the first time, a probation officer monitors the offender's behavior. Elements of dui probation can include substance abuse education or treatment, driving restrictions, regular meetings with a counselor, restrictions on the offender's usage of his or her motor vehicle, reporting to a probation officer, and installation of an ignition interlock device.
