QUESTION
Is there any way to get the DMV to consider the time I already was restricted and not add the extra time and fee?

More details to this question:
I was arrested for a DUI. I had a separate hearing with the DMV which suspended my license for 6 months. When my court case was finally resolved, I had already finished my DUI classes required for a restricted license. Now they have added 5 more months to the restriction and are charging another fee. It's because of the timing of the court resolution which isn't fair because I have already served my 6 months suspension the DMV gave me.

The fee is $70, the extra suspension can be turned into a restricted license upon payment of the fee (assuming you have already filed an SR-22 and enrolled in the DUI class). If you didn't hire an attorney that's about all you can expect.

No. You get time for actual suspension, not for restriction.

You'll have to see an attorney with the details, but generally if the suspension resulting from the DUI is not the same as an additional suspension if you refused the chemical test.
