Even in major cities like Chicago, we are still a very car-dependent society. Especially if you live in the surrounding suburbs instead of in the downtown area, public transportation is not always as accessible or convenient as we would like it to be. Most people still rely on their cars to get to work, do their grocery shopping, and maintain a social life. If your license is suspended due to a DUI, you may need to find alternate ways to do all of these things for several months to a year. Some drivers who have had a DUI will be eligible for a temporary restricted license that can allow them to drive for limited essential purposes, like going to work or to medical appointments. An experienced Grundy County, IL DUI license reinstatement lawyer may be able to help you get back to driving faster.
