License Restrictions

The DMV is authorized to impose license restrictions to assure the safe operation of motor vehicles. The DMV may issue you a restricted license with the restriction indicated on the driver's license. Operating a motor vehicle in violation of the restriction is a serious offense and could result in the suspension or revocation of your driving privilege. Once suspended, the DMV does not offer a restricted license for work purposes.

Whenever a student at least 15 but less than 17 years of age withdraws from school, or a student at least 15 but less than 17 years of age is enrolled in a secondary school and fails to maintain satisfactory academic progress, the attendance director or chief administrator shall notify the Division of Motor Vehicles and a restriction will be placed on the student's license. The Division of Motor Vehicles shall send notice to the student that the student's instruction permit or license will be restricted to driving for work or medical purposes or educational or religious pursuits.
