LICENSE PENALTIES FOR REPEAT DUI OFFENSES
A person arrested for repeat drunk driving charges faces license suspension for up to a year upon conviction. If a person is convicted of a felony traffic offense, they face up to three years of license revocation. However, the specific penalties depend on how the prosecuting agency or police submit things to ADOT and MVD. Our seasoned Phoenix criminal attorneys may be able to mitigate license suspensions and protect a person’s way of life by defending against a DUI conviction.
CHALLENGING A LICENSE SUSPENSION IN PHOENIX
To challenge a DUI license suspension, a local attorney would ask for a hearing on behalf of the accused driver. The hearing officer or judge will determine whether there was reason to suspect that the defendant was driving while intoxicated and if they had prior license suspensions. A person always has the right to request a hearing to challenge their license suspension. There may be additional options for protecting a person’s driving rights after a DUI charge, which our Phoenix attorneys can further explain.
APPLYING FOR A RESTRICTED LICENSE AFTER A DUI
Generally, a driver with a second-time DUI suspension of one year is eligible for a restricted driver’s license, or Special Ignition Interlock Restricted Driver’s License (SIIRDL). After a waiting period, the driver can apply for a restricted license as long as they show they have installed an ignition interlock in their car. Our experienced attorneys can further explain and guide a driver through the process of applying for a restricted license after a second drunk driving charge.
For a third offense, the MVD will decide whether a person qualifies for a restricted license. The driver must also go through a revocation packet and pay a fee to reinstate their license. A Phoenix attorney experienced in DUI license restoration could help them apply and navigate the process.
