In some states, there may be limited exceptions to the no-driving rule during a DUI suspension. For example, you may be permitted to drive to and from work, school, or medical appointments, or to transport your children to and from school. However, you will need to obtain a restricted driver's license or hardship permit from the state in order to do so. The requirements for obtaining a restricted license or hardship permit vary from state to state, and you will need to meet certain criteria, such as completing a DUI education program and installing an ignition interlock device in your vehicle.
Driving on a ticket after a DUI suspension is not a valid legal defense. If you are caught driving on a suspended license, you will be cited for a traffic violation and could face criminal charges. It is important to follow the terms of your DUI suspension and refrain from driving until your license is reinstated.
