Driving Permit and Challenging the Suspension of your License
Losing your driver’s license affects your life every single day. We have come to depend on our car to do everything from driving to work, to dropping kids off at school and every errand in between. In most DUI’s you are automatically losing your license for at least 6 months to a year depending on your individual case. There are multiple things that can be done about it which includes trying for a permit or challenging the validity of the suspension. Each case is different and the lawyers at ADDY, BUSH AND ASSOCIATES, P.C. are focused on reviewing the details of your case and mapping out your best option.

Permit
As with any major change in the law, false information is created due to fear and lack of understanding and obtaining a permit to drive after a DUI arrest is no exception. A driving permit is still possible in many DUI cases. The old style permits that allow you to only drive for work are no longer applicable due to recent changes in the law. Now you may apply for a permit called an MDDP which allows for more flexibility in your driving. Additionally, you will have to install a breath machine in your vehicle for the entire time you drive on a permit. You will want to make sure you understand these rules and use a breath machine from a company that has reliable equipment at reasonable rates. These questions and more can be answered by the attorneys at ADDY, BUSH AND ASSOCIATES, P.C.

Challenging The Suspension
It is also still possible to challenge the suspension of your driving privileges through a Petition to Rescind the Statutory Summary Suspension. This is a hearing where evidence is given to show a mistake was made by the police during the DUI arrest. These hearings are limited to a few basic issues, but if the hearing is successful you can avoid the loss of your license, which will save you hundreds, possibly thousands of dollars in expenses and a great deal of inconvenience in your life. The lawyers at ADDY, BUSH AND ASSOCIATES, P.C. are trained at reviewing the details of each individual case and attacking any weak points that appear.
