If you are not sure you qualify for driving privileges, have not been granted limited privileges, or need help to become qualified, you should also call to make an appointment. We will assist you in determining what additional steps you must take in order to become eligible. UNDER OHIO LAW, THE COURT CANNOT GRANT LIMITED DRIVING PRIVILEGES TO DRIVE UNDER A CDL ENDORSEMENT. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the above number and a staff member will assist you with further procedures to obtain limited driving privileges according to your specific situations. Not all situations will be approved, as the State of Ohio has specific guidelines in regards to limited driving privileges.
