Client’s revocation was reinstated due to his violation of his restricted license. A restricted license is only granted when an individual proves my clear and convincing evidence that he or she is sober know and has the tools in place to stay sober for the rest of his or her life. Whenever there is evidence of drinking it is a major concern for the hearing officer. In this case the hearing officer felt that the evidence of drinking was overwhelming and reinstated the client’s revocation.
Client was applying for a full license.
He had been driving on a restricted license with an ignition interlock device on his vehicle for over a year. Less than 10 days before his hearing he had multiple positive alcohol readings on the device. He did take an ETG test and he provided the results to the Secretary of State. The problem was that he submitted the ETG results even though the test was positive for alcohol.
