Charged with Driving with a Suspended License?

If your driver’s license has been suspended it’s very important that you do not violate your suspension in any way. Driving with a suspended license is a serious offense, one that can ultimately result in permanent revocation of your license and even time in jail. If you have been charged with driving with a suspended license in Daytona Beach or Volusia County, you should retain the services of an attorney who has experience in this area of criminal defense.

We offer a free consultation, where we can meet with you to review the circumstances of your arrest, and determine what action can be taken to help you get the charges reduced or dropped completely.

Penalties for Driving with a Suspended License

Although driving with a suspended license doesn’t seem like a serious offense, the truth is a conviction for this offense can still result in a number of penalties. If you are found guilty, you could be sentenced to:

• Up to 1 year in jail
• Up to $1,000 in fines
• Community service
• Extended license suspension
• Probation

If you are convicted of driving with a suspended license three times or more, you will be labeled a habitual traffic offender, which is punishable by up to five years in prison and a five-year license suspension.
