Suspension of License
Can the Conservatee's Right to Drive a Car Be Reinstated while Under the LPS Conservatorship? Yes, but allow at least two months' time frame for the DMV to complete their investigation. While under the LPS Conservatorship, as conservator, you can request the treating doctor write a letter stating that the mental state of the patient and their medication has not made them unsafe to drive. You can present this to the court along with your written request to reinstate the driving privileges. Or you can request the driving privileges be reinstated during the reappointment of the conservatorship. 7 When the LPS Conservatorship terminates, you should notify the DMV. To reinstate the driver's license the treating doctor must affirm the person has the mental ability to drive. Then the driver's license can be requested through the DMV who will in turn request a safety interview for the person. This is not a big deal as they just ask basic questions. It can take a considerable amount of time for DMV to complete this process.
