Can I drive in another state with an Indiana hardship license?

Full question:

If I have a hardship license in Indiana (due to being a habitual traffic offender for 3 DUIs), and am moving to another state, can I drive in that state? Will my hardship license automatically transfer to that state? Or would I have to petition with that state's court?

Answer:

Your Indiana hardship license may be recognized in another state temporarily. However, once you establish residency there, you will need to apply for a new license according to that state's laws. Keep in mind that the new state's DMV may not honor the hardship license, and you may need to petition their court for any special driving privileges.

A hardship license typically comes with restrictions, such as limited driving hours and specific purposes for driving, like work or school. It may not allow driving outside of certain areas or during certain times. Additionally, the license may only be valid for a set period, and failure to comply with its terms can lead to further penalties or license suspension.
