Minnesota DUI Lawyer

A person whose driver’s license has been revoked for an implied consent violation or DWI conviction may apply for a limited license to drive:

To and from a job, or for a job;
To chemical dependency treatment;
To provide for the educational, medical, or nutritional needs of the family; and/or
For attendance at a postsecondary educational institution.

However, the law requires a waiting period before a suspended or revoked driver may apply for a limited license. The waiting period is:

15 days for a first-time implied consent or DWI violator;
90 days for a second-time or subsequent violator who complied with the blood alcohol test;
One year for a person revoked for manslaughter or criminal vehicular homicide;
If under the age of 18, for twice the applicable period above, with a minimum of 90 days;
For twice the applicable period above, if the person’s blood alcohol content was .20 or more; and
An additional 60 days, if the license withdrawal involved use of the vehicle in commission of a felony crime or an injury accident.
