What Are the Potential Penalties for Driving While License Suspended?

As mentioned before, driving while your driver's license is suspended is a misdemeanor or felony. The possible penalties for a criminal charge will vary greatly and depend on whether you have any other prior offenses, whether you have remedied the issue that resulted in a suspension of your driving privileges, and the reason for your driver's license suspension.

The potential conviction penalties are as follows:

• First conviction: Charged as a second-degree misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to $500 in fines, up to 6 months of probation, and /or up to 60 days in jail.
• Second conviction: This is a first-degree misdemeanor. A conviction could result in up to $1,000 in fines, up to 1 year of probation, and/or up to 1 year in jail.
• Third or subsequent conviction: This is considered a third-degree felony, and conviction penalties include up to $5,000 in fines, up to 5 years of probation, and/or up to 5 years in prison.

If, while driving on a suspended driver's license, you cause bodily injury or death, you could be looking at harsher conviction penalties.
