If an offender desires a restricted license, what must they do?

• A. Enroll in any ASAP and file for licensure.
• B. File a petition with the original court of jurisdiction and enroll in the ASAP serving that court.
• C. Wait until the court orders transfer.
• D. Decline enrollment in any ASAP.

Answer: (B)

Obtaining a restricted license requires court involvement and mandatory program participation. Specifically, you must file a petition with the original court that handled your case and enroll in the Alcohol Safety Action Program (ASAP) that serves that same court. This ties your request for a restricted license to the court’s oversight and ensures you are in the mandated program that the court requires before a restricted license can be considered.

This approach matters because the court needs to review your petition and oversee your progress in the ASAP before granting any restricted driving privileges. Enrolling in an ASAP that isn’t associated with your original court wouldn’t satisfy the court’s requirement, and starting the process without filing the petition or waiting for a transfer isn’t how eligibility is established. Declining ASAP enrollment would likewise block eligibility since completion of the program is typically a condition for a restricted license.
