Restriction codes on your credential

Explanation

Restrictions and endorsements appear in the lower left-hand corner of a credential and are described on its back. The manual says the most common restrictions result from vision screening. It also lists the full base-license restriction table:

Code	Meaning
B	Glasses or contact lenses required when driving
C	Mechanical aid or adaptive device
D	Prosthetic aid
F	Outside mirrors or rearview camera required when driving
G	Daylight driving only
H	Motorcycle three-wheel bike only
J	Specific limitations
S	Motorcycle with side car only
2	HTV conditional
3	Photo exempt
5	Conditional: operate under specific conditions
6	Interlock device
7	Seat belt exempt
8	Medical condition
9	Lawful temporary resident

Example

A driver whose credential shows “Restriction B, F” must wear corrective lenses and drive a vehicle equipped with outside mirrors or a rearview camera.

Common mistake

Confusing restriction G (“daylight driving only”) with a nighttime curfew rule for young drivers — the code means daylight driving only, and the manual lists it among common vision-related restrictions.
