Legal Question in DUI Law in Iowa

Driving while revoked

I was put on probation with my license revoked back in January (?) of 2008 for my 2nd OWI. I got arrested in April 08 for driving while revoked in Council Bluffs, IA and in December of 2008 I was in an accident on my way to work and received a ticket for driving while suspended in Omaha, NE. I am a single mother. I live 6 blocks from my work and my 7 year old daughter goes to school 1 block from where I work. I have close to $30,000 in debt and nearly $3,000 in fines to pay. I have been offered a position that would involve travel to Lincoln up to 3 times a week. Is there anyway I will be able to get a work permit and avoid jail time?

Re: Driving while revoked

The chances are not good, but you should contact the Iowa DOT and see whether they will give you a work permit.
