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.

Martin Kron was very patient, fair, and upfront during my interactions with him. I am currently out of the NY/NJ area, after a recent move. But needed someone to represent me for an issue with the DMV in NYS. He was realistic with timelines and was able to ultimately get my issue resolved before it affected my current state license. Can't thank him enough. After he resolved the issue in NYS, he kept in touch to make sure my issue was completely resolved in my new home state.Orlene

My son and I consulted with Martin for a traffic violation that was received in the Bronx in 2016. His knowledge reduced my son's fine considerably as well as helped him shed points in an efficient manner. We would recommend him for hire.Paul

Mr. Kron he made no guarantees and was honest with regards to the whole matter and never gave me a false sense of security as to what the final turn out would be.Irving

I'm glad I choose this lawyer. His professionalism and his ability to follow things up impressed me. There was always someone in the office to respond to my phone calls. Finally, they had my file up to date. I won my case, but beyond everything, I was most impressed by their availability to respond to me. Thanks!Vitalis

Great decision+great attorney=great resultScott

Martin Kron and his office did a wonderful job helping me with traffic tickets that were more than 3 years old!!! The judges in the courts we were in knew who he was and liked him and his professionalism. His associates in his office were very very nice, timely and helpful. He was always reachable and actually made the experiment fun... I was worried I would have to pay high fines because I had not done anything about these tickets for so many years, but because of Martin and his relationships with the courts, I really got great fines with no points added to my license!!! I forwarded his information to several of my friends because we finished so quickly. I would refer him again at any time.Darra

I am an idiot and got a ticket for doing 90 in a 40 in Manhattan. Martin and his people were very helpful throughout the process, keeping good communication with me the entire time. Just got word that the ticket was dismissed. THANKS MARTIN!Satisfied Client

I highly recommend Martin Kron & Associates. I had a great experience. A good friend recommended me to Marty last year when I received a speeding ticket in NYC. Marty knows the process extremely well, listened & answered all of my questions, and ultimately got my ticket dismissed. In addition, during the past 20 months, when I had questions regarding the adjournments and processes, all of the people in his office were extremely responsive, professional and great at answering all of my questions. Before getting the referral to Marty, I called a few other traffic law firms that I found online to possibly handle the ticket. They all sounded like ticket factories with no real service and no real people behind you. Having Marty or one of his attorneys representing you in NYC traffic court was the best decision I made and is 100% the right answer. I got a great result and felt that I had the A-team on my side. If you get a traffic ticket in NYC, I would call Martin Kron...
