A Limited Driving Privilege (LDP) is sometimes referred to as a “hardship” license. Essentially, this type of license is granted to someone whose Driver’s License has been suspended or revoked. Being granted an LDP means the driver is allowed to operate a vehicle under a number of restrictive conditions.
However, many people do not qualify for a Limited Driving Privilege. Following are the most common conditions that prevent someone from obtaining an LDP.
Reasons Limited Driving Privilege (LDP) is Denied:
- You do not have a Missouri Driver’s License.
- You have already received an LDP within the last five (5) years.
- You have a conviction for a felony involving the use of a motor vehicle.
- You have a conviction for leaving the scene of an accident.
- You have two (2) or more revocations for refusing a drug/alcohol test.
- You have a disqualification of commercial driving privileges (only a noncommercial LDP may be issued in this circumstance).
- You have a conviction for driving a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs or controlled substances.
- You have a revocation for failure to pass a driving or medical examination as required by the Department of Revenue (DOR).
- You have a suspension for an unsatisfied motor vehicle accident judgment (until payment has been made or compliance has been met).
- You have a suspension for failure to pay ticket(s) in Missouri or in another state (until payment has been made or compliance has been met).
- Less than 30 days have been served of a suspension/revocation that resulted from a conviction for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or driving with excessive blood alcohol content (BAC).
- Less than 90 days have been served of a first “refusal” revocation.
- Less than 30 days have been served of a DOR administrative alcohol suspension.
- The entire period of a DOR administrative alcohol revocation has not been served.
- Denied for five (5) years for two DWI convictions, until the first two years of the denial have been served.
- Denied for ten (10) years for three or more DWI convictions, until the first three years of denial have been served.
