Ask a Trooper
Question: I’ve read your last couple of “Ask A Trooper” articles and with all this talk about driver’s license suspensions and revocation, can you talk about people needing or getting a work permit for driving?
Answer: Minnesota does have what is called a “limited license.” Under some circumstances, a limited license may be issued to a person whose driving privileges are revoked or suspended. Before a limited license is issued, you must meet certain requirements, including completing any mandatory waiting periods. If you are issued a limited license, you are restricted to:
• Travel to and from your place of employment.
• Travel to and from chemical dependency treatment or counseling.
• Providing transportation for dependent children and other dependents living in your household for medical, educational, or nutritional needs.
• Travel to and from a post-secondary institution where you are enrolled.
You can avoid a ticket — and a crash — if you simply buckle up, drive at safe speeds, pay attention and always drive sober. Help us drive Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths.
