If my license is suspended because of an OUI can I still drive to work?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

I was arrested for OUI and think I might lose my license. Does Massachusetts law allow me to continue to drive to work?  If so, how do I proceed?

ATTORNEY ANSWER:

If you have been charged with a First Offense OUI or a Second Offense OUI (Prior offense being outside of 10 years) then after a plea or a guilty finding you can apply for a Hardship license (12 hour license – 7 days a week) for work purposes.  You will need to meet certain requirements before you can apply, but if you meet these requirements the RMV will grant you a hardship license.  If this is a second offense as defined above, you will need to install an ignition interlock device on your vehicle.
