Where and When Can You Drive on a Restricted License in AZ?
If you're granted an AZ-restricted license, you may only drive to and from essential activities, like:
- Work or school;
- Taking your children to and from school or activities;
- Drug or alcohol treatment program centers;
- Medical appointments;
- Probation officer’s office.
If the judge places time-of-day restrictions on your license, you may only drive during those hours as well. You may not drive at night, for example, and if you need to drive to other places aside from those approved, you'll have to petition the judge for approval.
How Long Is an Arizona Restricted Drivers License?
The length of time you have a restricted license before your full driving privileges are reinstated depends on the circumstances of your initial license suspension. Minor traffic violations, for example, may result in a suspension of 60-90 days, while refusing a chemical test could result in a lengthier restriction.
More serious infractions or multiple traffic offenses may mean a restricted license of a year or more.
