1. Fifteen (15) convictions of moving traffic offenses for which points are earned including any offenses listed under section 2 below. Or ..

License Check

To regain your Driving Privileges as a result of HTO, you will need to accomplish the following:

• If your suspension occurred over 1 year ago, but less than 5 years from effective date of revocation, you can apply for a Hardship License.  Follow these steps:

1. Enroll and complete the 12 Hour ADI Course.  The class will help you prepare for your Hardship License Hearing.
2. Call your nearest DMV Office that conducts Hardship License Interviews to request an appointment.  Your hearing will generally last about 30 minutes.  If your hearing with the DMV Administrative Reviews Office is favorable, a license will be issued but you will be restricted to driving for Employment or Business Purposes only.

• When you serve the entire HTO revocation period without a hardship license, a hearing with an Administrative Review Officer is not required.  You can reinstate for full privileges by presenting your 12 Hour ADI Course Completion Certificate to any driver license or tax collector licensing agent office and pay the revocation reinstatement fee (around $70.00) along with any other applicable fees for issuance of a driver license.
