What does a restricted driving permit allow a driver to do?

A restricted driving permit is specifically designed to allow individuals whose driving privileges have been suspended or revoked to operate a vehicle under certain limitations. One of the most common restrictions placed on such a permit is that it allows driving only during specific hours. This permits individuals to meet essential needs such as attending work, school, or medical appointments while ensuring that their driving is limited to necessary and permitted times, thus promoting public safety.

Other options, such as driving freely at any time, using public transportation, or driving for commercial purposes, do not align with the intent of a restricted driving permit. The primary goal of these permits is to impose restrictions while still enabling some level of mobility for individuals who may be otherwise cut off from essential activities. Therefore, driving only during designated hours reflects the intended constraints of a restricted driving permit.
