Statute text

(a)The department shall notify every person whose driving privilege is suspended, pursuant to Section 16070, of that person’s right to apply for a restricted driving privilege authorized under Section 16072.

(b)For purposes of subdivision (a), the department shall prepare and publish a printed summary. The printed summary may contain, but is not limited to, the following wording: “If your driving privilege is suspended due to involvement in an accident while you were uninsured, you may apply for a restricted license at any office of the Department of Motor Vehicles, accompanied with proof of financial responsibility, payment of a penalty fee of two hundred fifty dollars ($250), and, unless already paid, payment of a reissuance fee. The Mello-McAlister Restricted Employment Driving Privilege Act allows you to apply for a driver’s license limiting you to driving to and from work, and during the course of your primary employment, during the one-year mandatory term of suspension. The restricted license will not be issued if any other suspension or revocation action has been taken against your driving privilege.”
