Can a DUI Offender Continue to Drive?

A DUI offender is able to drive with a permit if there license is suspended by the SOS.  The offender does not need an alcohol evaluation or any supporting documentation in order to have a MDDP granted. In summary, here are the features to the MDDP process: 

An offender is arrested for DUI; A sworn report, completed by the police officer, is sent to the Secretary of State (SOS); The Secretary of State sends a Notice Order of Summary Suspension to the offender (effective on the 46th day after the test or refusal), along with MDDP information; The offender then goes to court for the DUI; The trial judge asks the offender whether he or she wants an MDDP;

If the offender says yes, then an order for an MDDP is completed; If the offender says no, then the offender is admonished by the court and the offender signs an ‘opt out’ statement; If yes, then an order for the MDDP is sent to the Secretary of State; The Secretary of State then gets the Court Order.
