Know the Rules to Reinstate a Michigan Driver’s License

The process of reinstating a revoked license isn’t as easy as if it were restricted or suspended. The Michigan Administrative Code Rule 257.313 or “Rule 13” sets the benchmarks each person must prove as well as the standards of proof:

• At least 12 months of complete and continuous abstinence from alcohol and controlled substances. 
• Proof of low or minimal relapse risk.
• Proof of low or minimal reoffending 
• Proof that the person’s substance abuse problems are under control.

Attaining a successful Michigan driver’s license reinstatement is an arduous task to complete on your own. Having an attorney like Daniel T. Geherin of Geherin Law Group on your side will help.

Understanding Michigan Driver’s License Reinstatement

If you’ve had your license restricted or suspended due to point-accumulation, criminal or traffic offences, or due to a poor driving record – it should automatically be reinstated after a small fee has been paid. However, if your license has been revoked, the process to regain your driving privileges is much more complicated. You need to:

• Understand what you have to do to prove in order to have your license reinstated. 
• Know the standard of proof. 
• Know who makes the final decision.
