You can request whatever you like from them. You're dealing with a govt bureaucracy that makes its own rules and procedures. Yes, it is possible that you could get a restricted license. If they say you have specified things you must do to get one, you'll have to either do what they demand, or you can try to 'appeal' and seek a hearing on the issue if they deny you. You would be wise to hire an attorney to help you make the best presentation possible in such hearing. If serious about doing so, feel free to contact me.
