1992 2nd DUI Never completed DUI program

[bzbr46]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

I was convicted in 92 in CA, second offense, paid all fines, jail etc, but because I moved overseas, was not able to complte the course. Returned to CA in 97, entered the DUI program again, got my restricted DL again. Once again in 98 I moved back overseas for work, and came back now to CA. I went to DMV, and was told that I could not even get a restricted DL until I completed the 18 month DUI program. I've enrolled in the DUI program.

In the past, I got my restricted DL as long as I enrolled, now they say I can not. Is there a chance I can get DMV to give me at least a restricted DL? While I take the DUI program?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Q: Is there a chance I can get DMV to give me at least a restricted DL?

A: Based solely on your post, no. BUT hire a drunk driving lawyer and find out if there is a way around this.

Thanks for your reply, will an attorney give me an idea as to whether I have a chance or will I have to "retain" him or her for that information? Ido have proof that I was living abroad where trying to find and participate in similiar programs was not possible.

You need to ask your questions of the lawyer you hire.

And stop double posting!

The DMV can change their rules about how to get a license any danged time they please and, by the way, often do.
