How To Get Your License Back After DUI In New Jersey
One step toward license reinstatement is to serve the term of the suspension. Exactly how long it lasts depends on the offense. If it is a first-time DUI and your BAC is under 0.10%, then the license suspension will generally be for three months. If you are found to have been using illegal drugs or if you have a higher BAC than 0.10%, you could lose your license for seven months to a year. A second offense could bring a suspension term of two years, while a third offense escalates dramatically to 10 years.
It is also important to pay any fines and to ensure you understand what other requirements the court might impose. In some cases, they will mandate that you go through a drug or alcohol abuse program, for example, or that you use an ignition interlock device after you get your license back. You must submit an application to have your license reinstated and pay the Motor Vehicle Commission the proper reinstatement fee.
