Get Your License Back
Michigan drivers should be aware of important 2026 updates to state driving laws. These changes increase penalties for distracted driving and DUI offenses — and they could directly affect driver’s license reinstatement in Michigan.
Stricter Hands-Free Enforcement
Law enforcement can now stop drivers solely for handheld device violations. Updated penalties include:
- Primary enforcement statewide
- Increased fines for repeat offenses
- Points added to your driving record
- Mandatory driving improvement courses
Multiple violations may lead to license suspension under Michigan’s point system.
Tougher DUI Consequences
Michigan lawmakers have expanded ignition interlock requirements and lengthened suspension and revocation periods for DUI offenders. Repeat offenders face increased monitoring and stricter probation standards.
If your license has been revoked after multiple DUI convictions, you must request a formal hearing with the Michigan Secretary of State before seeking reinstatement.
Don’t Risk Delays
Reinstatement requires proof that your substance use is under control and that you are a low-risk driver. Mistakes in paperwork or preparation can result in denial — and another year without driving.
