Or. Admin. Code § 735-062-0087 - Restrictions on Driving Privileges
ORS 807.120 authorizes DMV to restrict driving privileges upon determining that there is good cause for a restriction. DMV finds good cause for a restriction of Class C non-commercial driving privileges in the following circumstances:
(1) A Restriction - Auto Trans non-CMV - When
a person is unable to operate the foot controls or shift lever on a standard
transmission equipped vehicle due to a physical impairment.
(2) B Restriction - Corrective Lenses - When
a person uses corrective lenses to meet the vision standards as set forth in
OAR 735-062-0050.
(3) F Restriction - Outside Mirror - When a
person has no usable vision in the person's left eye.
(4) G Restriction - Daylight Driving Only -
When a person's visual acuity is between 20/40 and 20/70 or if the person's
vision specialist indicates on a Certificate of Vision form that the person
should be restricted to daylight hours only.
(5) J Restriction - Variable - When at least
one of the following driving privilege restrictions applies to a person:
(a) When a person is restricted to specific
routes, times and purposes of driving under a special permit. The special
permit includes a student or emergency permit that allows driving for specific
purposes to a limited number of eligible applicants.
(b) When a person is restricted to specific
routes under a limited route restriction. A person's driver license may be
restricted to specific limited routes when the person has demonstrated that the
person can safely operate a motor vehicle on specific routes but is unable to
demonstrate that the person is qualified for an unrestricted license.
(c) When a person is authorized by DMV to
receive special instruction only. DMV may authorize a restricted privilege to
take driving lessons under certain circumstances. A person may not drive a
motor vehicle unless the person is driving with an instructor approved by
DMV.
(d) When a person's motorcycle
driving privileges are restricted to a three-wheeled motorcycle or a motorcycle
with a sidecar. DMV will restrict the driving privileges granted under a
motorcycle endorsement if the person applies for a restricted motorcycle
endorsement and has successfully completed the motorcycle knowledge test as
required in OAR 735-062-0040
.
(e) When DMV
authorizes the person to operate a motor vehicle only when equipped with
specific equipment that does not have its own restriction
code.
(6) When DMV
observes a physical or mental condition of impairment not previously known to
DMV that may negatively impact the person's ability to safely operate a motor
vehicle, DMV must determine if a J restriction, as described in Section (5)(e)
of this rule, is required. To determine if a J restriction is required, the
person must complete a drive test in which the drive examiner is evaluating
only the person's ability to operate a motor vehicle safely.
