convicted does not yet have the privilege to drive, the court shall
order the department to delay issuing the privilege to drive for one
year subsequent to the time the person becomes legally eligible to
drive. However, if there is no further conviction for an offense
specified in subdivision (d) in a 12-month period after the
conviction, the court, upon petition of the person affected, may
modify the order imposing the delay of the privilege. For each
successive offense, the court shall suspend the person's driving
privilege for those possessing a license or delay the eligibility for

driver's licenses surrendered, to the department.
(c) (1) After a court has issued an order suspending or delaying
driving privileges pursuant to subdivision (a), the court, upon
petition of the person affected, may review the order and may impose
restrictions on the person's privilege to drive based upon a showing
of a critical need to drive.
