Can You Get Your License Back After a DUI Accident

Losing your driver’s license for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a serious penalty under Ukrainian law. However, in some cases, it is possible to challenge the decision and restore your driving privileges.

The lawyers of the “Advocacy and Real Estate Association of Ukraine” will help you assess your case’s prospects, prepare all necessary documents, and represent your interests in court.

What penalties apply for driving under the influence

According to Article 130 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses, the sanctions for drunk driving include:

• First offense – fine of 17,000 UAH and license suspension for 1 year

• Second offense (within a year) – fine of 34,000 UAH and suspension for 3 years

• Third offense – fine of 51,000 UAH, vehicle confiscation, and license suspension for 10 years

If the drunk driving resulted in an accident with victims, the driver may face criminal liability under Article 286-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — imprisonment from 3 to 10 years and license revocation for the same period.

Can you get your license back after a DUI accident

Reinstating a driver’s license after revocation is possible in the following situations:

• Appealing the court ruling – if there were violations during protocol preparation or the examination procedure

• Lack of proof of intoxication – if the alcohol test was conducted improperly or no evidence exists

• Completion of disqualification period – after the term ends, you must pass the traffic rules exam

• Case review in higher courts – if there are grounds to restore the license
