If you have been charged with DUI or DWI and are going through the consequences, you may still have questions and may still need the assistance of a DUI defense Minneapolis lawyer. In some instances, a person whose driver’s license has been revoked for either a DWI or implied consent violation may apply for a limited license to drive:
-
- To and from work or to apply for a job;
- To and from chemical dependency treatment programs;
- To provide for medical, educational, or nutritional needs of the family; and/or
- For attendance to a postsecondary educational institute.
Work-Permit / Limited License Violation Consequences
A person who violates a condition of a work-permit / limited license or fails to have the license in their immediate possession at all times while operating a motor vehicle is guilty of a crime.
