Restoring Driving After Ohio DUI Charges
It is often said, "Driving is a Privilege, not a Right". You will certainly feel this if you haven't already. Restoring limited driving for work, childcare, and/or medical needs is not automatic by any stretch. Your eligibility for Petitioning for limited driving privileges will be determined by multiple factors such as whether or not you took a test, whether or not you have prior DUI convictions, and whether or not you had auto insurance when you were arrested.
Once your eligibility date comes for Petitioning for driving privileges, we will still have to have a hearing before a judge. The prosecutor may or may not object. The judge may or may not grant our request.
Many other counties are much tougher on driving privileges than Franklin. In fact, nearly every contiguous county has stricter policies on issuing limited driving privileges. This is especially true in Fairfield, Licking, Union, Delaware, and Pickaway counties.
