What is a Restricted Driving Permit?

A Restricted Driving Permit is designed specifically for individuals who have had their driving privileges suspended or revoked due to a DUI conviction. This permit allows them to drive under certain limitations, enabling them to maintain a level of independence while adhering to the requirements set by the court or the Secretary of State. The restrictions may include specific hours during which the individual is allowed to drive or particular routes to follow, allowing for essential travel, such as to work, school, or treatment programs.

The other options do not accurately represent the nature of a Restricted Driving Permit. Some permits might allow driving during specific hours, but that is more general and not specifically linked to DUI-related cases. The category of temporary permits for new drivers or those intended for non-residents also does not relate to the context of restrictions due to DUI offenses, thus affirming option B as the most accurate description of a Restricted Driving Permit.
