In Indiana, traffic violations are identified as major and minor offenses. Motorists who receive more than nine minor traffic offenses and one major violation in 10 years are considered habitual traffic violators who will lose their driving privileges for five years. If a motorist is convicted of three major offenses within 10 years, their driver's license will be suspended for 10 years. Habitual offenders who drive with a suspended license could potentially lose their driving privileges for life.

Schererville Hardship License Lawyer Working for You
If your license has been suspended, you may be eligible for a hardship license. The provisional license would allow you to drive to school, work medical appointments and any treatment programs as part of your probation. If you are eligible for a hardship license, you will be required to purchase SR-22 insurance, an expensive type of insurance which would have to be on your car for 36 months.
