In California a restricted license granter after a 2nd DUI conviction has guidelines that you need to abide. The California law states that the restriction of the driving privilege shall be limited to the hours needed for
- driving to and from the place of employment,
- driving during the course of employment, and
- driving to and from activities required in the driving-under-the-influence program.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles states that they may suspend or revoke the drivers license,once they receive satisfactory proof of any conviction of the restrictions of a driver’s license .
Therefore if you get caught driving outside your restrictions your driving privileges may be taken away again. The CA DMV should be able to give you information if there will be additional fines and penalties given to you by the judge or courts if you are stopped in Alameda and cannot prove you are driving within your restrictions.

Reader’s Question:
My auto insurance company does not provide insurance for me anymore because of lapse in the coverage. I have already missed several payments. I have a DUI conviction in California and I’m seriously in need of an insurance company which will cover my SR22 insurance policy. Who will provide my SR22 now?

A California SR22 insurance policy is a type of car insurance policy required for California drivers by the California Department of Motor Vehicles and the courts after DUI related offense. In the state of California, it is required for a minimum of 3 years after a drunk driving conviction.
The SR22 insurance policy serves as an agreement between the CA DMV and the SR22 provider that requires the insurance company to immediately notify the CA DMV should the insurance company not be providing insurance for the driver anymore.
Most likely, the larger national auto insurance companies don’t do SR22 policies for two main reasons. First is that they don’t like to assume the risk that ‘high risk’ policies involve. Second is that they don’t want to deal with the extra paperwork and regulations required of insurance companies that handle SR22 insurance policies. The only other option left for you now is that you would have to seek out smaller companies and insurance brokers who specialize in this type of insurance.
