Revoked Driver’s License in Clinton Township – Get a Restricted License

If your license has been revoked, you will need to apply for a hearing with the DAAD after the minimum revocation period has passed. If you win your hearing, you will receive a restricted license. If you lose, however, you will have to wait a year or more for a new hearing, which is why it is important to work with an attorney who knows what it takes to guide you to a great result the first time.

Types of Restricted Driver’s Licenses in Michigan

If you are granted a restricted driver’s license in Michigan, you will receive either a purpose-based restricted license or a time-based restricted license. A purpose-based license allows a driver to travel to and from certain locations, during any time of the day. With this license, you could likely get to and from any of work, homes, school, medical appointments, and court ordered classes, support groups, and a select few other locations.

Some others are awarded time-based restricted licenses, which allows a person to drive during specific times of day, for example from 9-5. While this type of license allows the freedom to go anywhere, it is much more restrictive in that there is no leeway for emergencies taking place outside of the set hours.
