In Missouri, any individual who receives two convictions for driving while intoxicated within a five year period will have their license denied for a period of five years. An individual serving a five year denial is not eligible for reinstatement. However, for a five year denial, a driver may apply for limited driving privileges after two years. To be eligible for limited driving privileges, a person cannot have an alcohol-related felony conviction on his or her record. Additionally, to be eligible for limited driving privileges, a driver cannot be otherwise ineligible to drive because of having twice refused the breath or blood test.
Any individual who receives three or more convictions for driving while intoxicated within a life time will have their license denied, and they are not eligible for reinstatement for a minimum of ten years. However, similar to a driver serving a five year license denial, a driver may apply for limited driving privileges after three years.
For driver’s seeking limited driving privileges, Missouri courts will generally impose several conditions if they grant limited driving privileges. One of the most frequently imposed condition on driver’s who are granted limited driving privileges is the installation of an ignition interlock device on the driver’s vehicle.
