Understanding NY Conditional/Restricted Licenses

In New York, a restricted or conditional license allows you to drive for specific purposes, such as going to and from work, traveling to work, picking up and dropping off children for day care, attending court-ordered classes or community service, and doctor's visits.

License suspension is a common penalty for drunk driving, serious traffic violations, and the accumulation of points on a person’s driving record. Fighting the offense is the best way to avoid suspension and future license complications.

Should you lose your license, your options depend on where your license was issued as well as the reason for the suspension. Eligibility is not automatic or available in every situation, which is why you should always consult with an attorney for help.

NY License Options: Conditional vs. Restricted Licenses

The conditional licenses available include:

  • Restricted license in New York: If you have had a conditional/restricted license issued within the prior five years and otherwise qualify, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) may issue a restricted license so long as your license was not revoked for criminal violations or drug or alcohol use.
  • Conditional license in New York: If you have not had a conditional/restricted license issued within the prior five years, you may be eligible to complete the Impaired Driver Program (DIP) for a DMV-issued conditional license for those suspended or revoked due to drunk driving or other drug/alcohol-related offenses.
  • Restricted/conditional licenses unavailable in New Jersey: If you were charged with DWI/DUI in New Jersey, you cannot obtain a conditional or restricted license. Legislators have proposed amendments to this law, but none have been successful thus far.
  • Driver Improvement Program (DIP) in New Jersey: Although conditional/restricted licenses are not offered, if your license is suspended for accumulating 12 to 14 points in over two years, the DIP program allows you to participate in a classroom course in lieu of the 30-day suspension. If you successfully complete the program, you may be able to drop up to 3 points from your record.

Consequences of Driving with a Restricted License in NY

The conditions of driving with a restricted or conditional license include harsher penalties. Any infraction could result in a mandatory six month suspension and an appearance in court.

A conditional/restricted license in NY should only be a last resort. If you have been pulled over for a serious traffic offense, received a notice of suspension, or violated the terms of a restricted/conditional license, now is the time to contact us.

If obtaining a restricted license in New York is your last option, schedule your free consultation with Martin A. Kron & Associates, P.C. today. Call us at (212) 235-1525 now.

    "Would highly recommend, thank you again!"
    The NY DMV can be difficult to navigate, I am so glad that I called Martin A. Kron & Associates. Vanessa and the team resolved a difficult situation for my family in a matter of days.
    Anthony
    "Both tickets dismissed!"
    I received two cell phone tickets in the past year because I was using the GPS on my cell phone. Mr. Kron was able to get both tickets dismissed and put me at ease along the way.
    James
    "I would refer him to anyone, anytime for anything."
    I had 3 cell phone violations within 18 months, which by law subjects me to license suspension. Mr. Kron and I deferred our case 4 times which is the maximum. When we finally decided to plead me guilty, Mr. Kron did everything within his power to reason with the judge for leniency-and he succeeded!! I was found guilty, have to pay a fine, but will be able to keep on driving which is extremely important for me to maintain my lifestyle. Most importantly, during this process, I was a nervous wreck. Mr. Kron was immediate in his responses to my inquiries----almost replying to my texts before I hit send!! I cannot thank this man enough... I would refer him to anyone, anytime for anything. He did an absolutely wonderful job for me. One final thought. You know how you read about or see about everything else that works for other people but never works for you? This is a case where this guy was an angel and delivered me the best possible outcome. I am a very lucky man today because of Mr. Kron.

    "I was out of the court in 20 minutes."
    Marty is a professional, and a very caring person. Recently on my way to daughters graduation, I entered HOV lane at GW Bridge. On his advise I pleaded guilty but the points were waived. He met me at the court and we went before the judge right away and I was out of the court in 20 minutes.

    I would like to thank Mr. Martin for his quick and professional help! My traffic problem was resolved in the best possible way. I felt I could rely on Mr. Martin with my problems and was very secure regarding the outcome. It was a pleasure to work with and communicate. Thanks a lot for your help!
