Driving with a Suspended License
If you have been ticketed or arrested for driving with a suspended license, it’s important to speak with an experienced attorney as soon as possible. Driving with a suspended or revoked license is considered a criminal charge in Florida, and could result in a conviction and time in jail. A lawyer who has experience in these matters can review your situation to determine what can be done to ensure your case results in the best possible outcome.
Driving with a suspended or revoked license is a serious offense in Florida, something law enforcement officers will simply not ignore. If your license has been suspended, it’s important not to disregard the law by driving anyway. Not only will additional points be assessed to your record, but you will now have two major criminal traffic violations on your record: driving with a suspended license and whatever other offense caused your license to be suspended in the first place. If you accumulate 3 or more serious traffic offenses on your record within a five-year period, you will be labeled a habitual traffic offender, which means your license will be suspended for 5 years. In addition, you could also face third degree felony charges, which carries a prison sentence of up to five years, a $5,000 fine, and five years probation.
