Under 21 and got DUI. Can I get restricted license now that I am done with my alcohol course?

Question: Under 21 and got DUI. Can I get restricted license now that I am done with my alcohol course?
Answer: Generally for an under 21 year old alcohol related driving conviction, there is a 1 year hard suspension even on a first offense. It is possible to get a “critical needs” license through the DMV. Did you get this critical needs license? If not, then unless there is an error by the DMV, you would not be eligible for a regular restricted license as you were under 21 at the time of the arrest based on what you wrote in your question.
