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.
