Penalties for Driving on a Suspended or Driving on a Revoked License
The penalties for Driving on a Suspended or Revoked License vary greatly depending on why you are suspended or revoked and how many prior convictions you may have. The first factor regarding Driving on a Suspended License and Driving on a Revoked License penalties is why your driver’s license was suspended or revoked. If your suspension or revocation is based upon a prior Driving Under the Influence (DUI) conviction, the penalties are more harsh than if your suspension or revocation was for unpaid traffic tickets or unpaid child support.
On the low end, Driving on a Suspended License is a Class A misdemeanor offense punishable by up to 365 days in jail and a $2,500 fine. However, if you have prior Driving on Revoked Convictions you could be charged with up to a Class X felony punishable by 6 – 30 years in the Department of Corrections.
