What is the purpose of a Limited Driving Privilege (LDP)?

The purpose of a Limited Driving Privilege (LDP) is to allow individuals who have been convicted of certain offenses to drive under specific restrictions after their license has been suspended. This is particularly relevant for people who need to maintain their ability to drive for essential activities such as work, school, or medical appointments. The LDP typically comes with conditions regarding the times and places a person can drive, ensuring that driving privileges are granted in a controlled manner without completely reinstating full driving rights.

This limited privilege serves a crucial function in balancing public safety with the needs of individuals who may otherwise be unable to meet their daily responsibilities. By imposing restrictions, the LDP supports accountability while still offering a pathway for individuals to maintain a semblance of normalcy during a period of suspension.
