Virginia Driving on a Suspended License Charge
Fight back with a Strong Defense!
There are often innocent reasons why you were driving on a suspended license. Many people don't know that their license is under suspension until they are pulled over by the police and arrested.
You many not have received the notice of suspension due to moving, or other circumstances. This is common, especially in cases of suspension for multiple DMV demerit points, such as from speeding tickets or other infractions. And it's also possible that the suspension was simply and administrative mistake.
Claiming not to have received notice is not a Defense by itself, but there are often other legal Defense strategies we can pursue to keep your record clean and keep your freedom to drive. But you need a Lawyer with experience fighting license and traffic offenses to help you.
Penalties for Driving on A Suspended License
Typically, the penalty for driving on a suspended license starts at an additional suspension of the same period from the original cause of the suspension. There are also often additional fines and penalties, including possible jail time.
A third offense conviction on driving on a suspended license due to a DUI charge has a mandatory minimum jail sentence of one year.
