hundred eighty-first day of the suspension only if division (F) of556
this section does not prohibit the judge from granting the557

driving privileges in vehicles that are not equipped with ignition566
interlock devices. If the offender does not petition for567
occupational driving privileges until after the first year of568

person's ability to continue the person's employment. The petition 597
shall be filed in the municipal, county, or mayor's court that has 598
jurisdiction over the place of arrest. Upon satisfactory proof 599

operate a vehicle during any time that the offender's driver's or676
commercial driver's license or permit is suspended or revoked677
under any other provision of law.678
