Driving with a Suspended License

Las Vegas Traffic Law Lawyer

Driver's license suspension is a common consequence for a variety of traffic offenses. When a person drives with a suspended license, they are essentially violating a court order. For this reason, driving with a suspended license can result in more than just a simple traffic ticket. Violating a license suspension is often charged as a crime, and can result in a number of penalties, including up to 30 days in jail and large fines. Furthermore, if you were on probation for another crime and you violated your probation by driving with a suspended license, your probation could be extended or you could be sent to jail. If you are repeatedly found driving with a suspended license, you may lose your right to drive altogether.
