Between 1991 and 2017, the rate of drunk driving fatalities decreased by nearly 50 percent. Nonetheless, in 2023, roughly one million drivers were arrested and charged with DUI or DWI. While about 30.8 percent of people believe a driver should lose his or her license following a DUI conviction, most believe this loss should only be temporary.
The primary question asked by Illinois residents who have been convicted of DUI is when they can have their driver’s license reinstated. We live in a very mobile society which is highly dependent on the ability to drive. The lack of a driver’s license severely hinders getting to and from work, taking children to school, running errands, and engaging in recreational activities.
Thanks to changes in Illinois DUI laws over the past few years, the question of when a driver’s license can be reinstated has become increasingly complex. If you have questions about when your license can be reinstated and how the process works, an Aurora, IL DUI attorney from Law Office of Patricia Magaña, LLC can help.
