"Hardship" Driver's License
Under certain circumstances, a court may choose to grant a "hardship" driver's license to persons who have been convicted of a DUI First Offense. Hardship licenses may only be granted after service of a 30 day license suspension and may not be granted to those persons who refused to submit to a breath test.
Application for a hardship license is made by submitting a written petition to the County or Circuit Court in the jurisdiction where you were convicted and it must contain the specific facts which you contend create a hardship. Generally, a court will grant a hardship license if it finds reasonable cause to believe that the suspension will hinder your ability to continue your employment, continue attending school or an educational institution, or obtain necessary medical care.
