a restriction isn't so bad. all you will have to do is fill out forms saying ur good to go afterwards. i had to do that when i was 16.

Now I think trolls are visiting us on our website, this comment is coming up so frequently. Look...docs are just following the letter of the law in the state you live. Have a seizure, your license must be revoked for 3-12 months; its the LAW people!!!
Get over it already.
