Philadelphia Occupational Driver's License Attorney
If your driver's license has been suspended because of a DUI conviction, traffic violation, or violation of regulations pertaining to your car, truck or motorcycle, you are all too aware of the seriousness of this punishment. Most people who work or go to school in the Philadelphia area rely heavily on their automobiles to get around. Public transportation may be helpful, but many job locations are not easily accessible by bus or SEPTA commuter train.
Contact traffic violation lawyer George M. Sere to schedule a consultation about your prospects for obtaining an occupational limited license (OLL) after your driver's license has been suspended. Learn how you may be able to obtain an occupational driver's license to use to get to work or school.
Who Is Not Eligible?
PennDOT (the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation) specifies that certain traffic violations make you ineligible for an occupational drivers' license. For example, you cannot get an occupational limited license (OLL) if you were cited for passing a school bus, fleeing a police officer, driving recklessly, leaving the scene of an accident, or violating laws related to controlled substances such as narcotic drugs.
Who Is Eligible?
On the other hand, if your driver's license was suspended as a result of a first-time DUI conviction or underage alcohol offense violation, you may be eligible for an occupational driver's license after 60 days. If your CDL (commercial driver's license) was suspended, you may be eligible for a noncommercial occupational driver's license only.
How Do You Get an Occupational Driver's License?
If you have met the requirements for a probationary license and have not had one in the previous five years, there is a specific set of steps you must follow in order to apply. If your request is denied or if your occupational driver's license is later recalled, you may file a petition for an administrative hearing.
