This is another blog dealing with drivers license restoration Michigan and interlock violations. If you are approved for a restricted license after an initial Michigan drivers license restoration hearing, you will be required to drive with an interlock device in your car for a minimum of one year. You will then be required to attend a second hearing to obtain full driving privileges. At the hearing, the hearing officer will review the annual report from the interlock provider.
As any Michigan license restoration lawyer will tell you, the annual report is crucial. It details whether you had any violations or alcohol readings at or above .025. The hearing officer will review the annual report very closely. If there are any problems identified in the annual report, how you respond to the problems is often determinative of whether you will be approved for a full license. I would urge you to consult with a lawyer that regularly handles drivers license cases to assess the impact the annual report will have on your chances and how best to deal with any issues.
