Understanding NY Conditional/Restricted Licenses
In New York, a restricted or conditional license allows you to drive for specific purposes, such as going to and from work, traveling to work, picking up and dropping off children for day care, attending court-ordered classes or community service, and doctor's visits.
License suspension is a common penalty for drunk driving, serious traffic violations, and the accumulation of points on a person’s driving record. Fighting the offense is the best way to avoid suspension and future license complications.
Should you lose your license, your options depend on where your license was issued as well as the reason for the suspension. Eligibility is not automatic or available in every situation, which is why you should always consult with an attorney for help.
NY License Options: Conditional vs. Restricted Licenses
The conditional licenses available include:
- Restricted license in New York: If you have had a conditional/restricted license issued within the prior five years and otherwise qualify, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) may issue a restricted license so long as your license was not revoked for criminal violations or drug or alcohol use.
- Conditional license in New York: If you have not had a conditional/restricted license issued within the prior five years, you may be eligible to complete the Impaired Driver Program (DIP) for a DMV-issued conditional license for those suspended or revoked due to drunk driving or other drug/alcohol-related offenses.
- Restricted/conditional licenses unavailable in New Jersey: If you were charged with DWI/DUI in New Jersey, you cannot obtain a conditional or restricted license. Legislators have proposed amendments to this law, but none have been successful thus far.
- Driver Improvement Program (DIP) in New Jersey: Although conditional/restricted licenses are not offered, if your license is suspended for accumulating 12 to 14 points in over two years, the DIP program allows you to participate in a classroom course in lieu of the 30-day suspension. If you successfully complete the program, you may be able to drop up to 3 points from your record.
Consequences of Driving with a Restricted License in NY
The conditions of driving with a restricted or conditional license include harsher penalties. Any infraction could result in a mandatory six month suspension and an appearance in court.
A conditional/restricted license in NY should only be a last resort. If you have been pulled over for a serious traffic offense, received a notice of suspension, or violated the terms of a restricted/conditional license, now is the time to contact us.
If obtaining a restricted license in New York is your last option, schedule your free consultation with Martin A. Kron & Associates, P.C. today. Call us at (212) 235-1525 now.

"Got me a great outcome!!"Just found out that my careless driving and my 10 over speed were both dismissed! I was freaked out since I drive commercially and can't have points on my license! I am so happy that the lawyers at MAK were able to take my case and get me a great outcome!!!!! In the past I hired another traffic attorney and all he did was take my money and I still got found guilty. Martin cost a little more but he was well worth it cuz we won!Guillermo

"He was always calm and patient with me."Martin is absolutely the best at what he does! He helped me from beginning to end with an improper cell phone use ticket. He made himself available for me consistently and returned my calls if he wasn't able to speak. He explained things in detail and answered all my questions. I literally bugged this man with questions because of my anxiety and he was always calm and patient with me. On the date of my court hearing, I walk right in and right out as he tells me I got your case dismissed. I had the biggest smile on my face and I was certainly relieved. Hands down he is an excellent communicator and is surely effective! Thank you, Martin!Tasha
