What is the burden of proof to get your driver’s license back after it has been revoked?

By Mike DeYoung

October 2, 2020


If you have lost your license because of multiple drunk driving charges or drug driving charges, the law says YOU have to prove by “clear and convincing evidence” that your  substance abuse problem is under control and likely to remain under control and that you are at low or minimal risk for repeat behavior.  

What is meant by “clear and convincing evidence?”  This means the evidence or proof you give to the hearing officer must be such that it gives the hearing officer a clear conviction, without hesitancy, of the truth of the precise facts in issue. In other words, the hearing officer must be left with a definite and firm belief that your drinking and/or drug problem is under control and likely to remain under control and that you are at low or minimal risk for repeat behavior.
