Can I Get My Driver's License Back? | Martin County Specialized Driving Privileges

 If your Indiana driver's license has been suspended, you may still be able to drive legally by obtaining a Specialized Driving Privileges (SDP) order.  An SDP is a court order that allows eligible drivers to operate a motor vehicle despite a license suspension.

Specialized Driving Privileges are sometimes called a "hardship license," although Indiana law uses the statutory term "Specialized Driving Privileges."

 For many people, Specialized Driving Privileges make it possible to continue working, attend school, obtain medical treatment, care for family members, and meet other essential daily obligations while their suspension remains in effect.

Obtaining Specialized Driving Privileges is not automatic. A petition must be filed with the Martin Circuit Court, and the judge has broad discretion to grant or deny the request. A properly prepared petition should explain why driving privileges are needed and demonstrate that granting the request is consistent with Indiana law and public safety.

If the court grants Specialized Driving Privileges, it may impose conditions tailored to the individual case. These conditions may include restrictions on when or where a person may drive, proof of financial responsibility, or other requirements authorized by law. Drivers operating under Specialized Driving Privileges must comply with every condition contained in the court's order and should always carry a copy of that order while driving.
