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.
