Section 735-062-0390 - Driving Privileges without a Daylight Hours Restriction for Persons with a Limited Vision Condition

(1) When an applicant meets the requirements in OAR 735-062-0320 for a special limited vision condition learner's permit, DMV will issue the special limited vision condition learner's permit without a driving during daylight hours only restriction, if the applicant also submits:

(a) A report from a licensed vision specialist certifying that the person's vision condition will allow the person to safely operate a motor vehicle at night; and

(b) Proof of enrollment in a nighttime driving training program as described in OAR 735-062-0330 (8).

(2) To participate in behind-the-wheel nighttime driving training, a person with a special limited vision condition learner's permit, an instruction permit or a driver license that has a driving during daylight hours only restriction must provide DMV with:

(a) The name of the rehabilitation specialist;

(b) Date(s) of the nighttime training; and

(c) A report from a licensed vision specialist certifying that the person's vision condition will allow the person to safely operate a motor vehicle at night.

(3) If the person qualifies, DMV will send a modified restriction letter to the rehabilitation training specialist to allow the person to drive during nighttime training.

(4) DMV may issue an instruction permit or regular driver license without a driving during daylight hours only restriction to a person with a limited vision condition, or may remove the restriction from the person's driving privileges if the person submits to DMV:

(a) A report from a licensed vision specialist certifying that the person's vision condition will allow the person to safely operate a motor vehicle at night. If this report also certifies that the person's vision meets the vision requirements under ORS 807.359, no other vision report will be required for two years; and

(b) A certificate issued by a rehabilitation training specialist certifying that the person has completed a nighttime driving training program as described in OAR 735-062-0330 (8) and can safely operate a motor vehicle at night.

(5) If DMV has issued an instruction permit without a daylight only restriction to a person who later qualifies for a driver license, that license will be issued without a daylight only restriction as well.
