Hardship License NY

Extreme Hardship

The definition of extreme hardship is the inability to obtain alternative means of travel to or from the licensee's employment, or to or from necessary medical treatment for the licensee or a member of the licensee's household, or if the licensee is a matriculating student enrolled in an accredited school, college or university travel to or from such licensee's school, college or university if such travel is necessary for the completion of the educational degree or certificate. A finding of extreme hardship may not be based solely upon the testimony of the licensee.
