Living in Miami it can seem like all is lost after your license is suspended, revoked or canceled. However, you may still qualify for a restricted license that allows driving for certain purposes. You need to be aware that no hardship restriction can be added to a Commercial Driver License (CDL).
Therefore, anyone who seeks a hardship reinstatement of their driver’s license, must obtain a Class E license. The Class E license can include one of two restrictions: C Restriction or D Restriction.
Restriction C is known as a “Business Purposes Only” license which allows you to drive for the limited purpose that is “necessary to maintain livelihood, including driving to and from work, necessary on-the-job driving, driving for educational purposes, and driving for church and medical purposes.” See Florida Statutes, § 322.271(1)(c).
Restriction D is known as “Employment Purposes Only” and that a driving privilege that is limited to driving to and from work or any necessary on-the-job driving.
Violating any of the above restrictions results in a Misdemeanor of the Second Degree and you will lose your driving privilege for the rest of the suspension/revocation period.
