Sit your test The Restricted Licence practical driving test takes about an hour. You must also have held your learner licence for 6 months. You can drive on your own between 5am and 10pm. Between 10pm and 5am you must have a supervisor. If you sit your test in an automatic vehicle, you will only be allowed to drive automatic vehicles.

Some states additionally put time limitations on restricted licenses. For instance, a motorist might be permitted to driving only during daylight hours or between certain times specified by the court or Department of Motor Vehicles DMV.

Every state is different. But generally, a driver's eligibility for a restricted license depends on the reason for the suspension, the motorist's driving record, and the driver's license type. For example, some states prohibit restricted licenses for drivers who had their license suspended for serious driving offenses like vehicular homicide , hit-and-run, or reckless driving.

Other states permit a restricted license for a first but not a subsequent suspension. And typically a hardship license won't restore commercial driving privileges. In some situations, a driver is eligible for a hardship license only after completing a "hard-suspension" period.

During the hard-suspension period—which is often 30 days—the person can't drive at all. Hard-suspension periods are common for DUI-related suspensions and revocations. Resetting your license will invalidate all current activations associated with that license.

License resets are limited to once every 30 days. Contact customer support for further assistance. Products End Users. ChemDoodle 2D. ChemDoodle 3D. ChemDoodle Mobile. ChemDoodle Web Components.
