Specialized Driving Permits in Fort Wayne
Indiana Lawyers with 75+ Years' Experience
Were you recently charged with a traffic related incident and had your driver's license suspended? Are you looking for a way to regain your driving privileges? At Arnold Terrill Ridenour, P.C., our Fort Wayne attorneys know that not being able to drive is a difficult hardship that may affect your everyday routine. Our goal is to help you regain your driving privileges, and one way we may be able to do this is with a specialized driving permit.
On January 1, 2015, a new law (IC 9-30-16) went into effect that makes it easier for you to obtain driving privileges after your driver's license has been suspended (by either the court or by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles). While individuals were once able to obtain either a hardship license or probationary license, these have been merged into one special permit.
Determine if you are eligible by speaking with us in a free consultation.
Call (888) 912-7220 for yours.
Am I Eligible to File for a Specialized Driving Permit in Indiana?
Determining your eligibility could be difficult, but there are basic requirements that you must meet. If you never held a valid driver's license in the state of Indiana or currently have a commercial driver's license, you may not be eligible to seek the specialized driving permit. Also, if you were pulled over and refused the chemical test, it may deem you ineligible.
Other reasons you may be unable to obtain a specialized driving permit include:
- an incident in which you were convicted of a driving offense which resulted in another person's death.
- you previously had a permit and have more than one conviction.
If your suspension is a court-ordered suspension, you may file your Indiana specialized drivers permit with the judge in the county your suspension was ordered. If you are suspended by the BMV for any reason including a 5-year Habitual Traffic Violator (HTV), 10-year HTV, or a lifetime habitual traffic violator, you must file in any court in the county in which you reside.

- Your petition must be served on the bureau and the prosecuting attorney (who may be present at your hearing and argue against the terms of relief you are seeking).
- Any relief or stay granted is at the sole discretion of the presiding judge.
