Driving with a Suspended License

Our Aurora Traffic Offense Attorney is on Your Side

Driving with a suspended license is a very serious traffic offense in Illinois. There are nine different ways in which your driver's license can be suspended.

The different types of license suspension in Illinois are:

  • DUI suspension
  • Excessive moving violations suspension
  • Insurance suspension
  • Suspension for non-payment of child support
  • Unpaid tollway suspension
  • Unpaid parking tickets suspension
  • Failure to appear in court suspension
  • Underage drinking suspension
  • Committing a felony while in possession of a motor vehicle suspension

Once your driver's license is suspended for one or more of the above reasons, you need to speak to an experienced criminal defense attorney in Aurora to discuss your legal options.

Penalties for Driving with a Suspended License

The criminal charge for driving with a suspended license is a class A misdemeanor. The maximum penalties include up to one year in county jail and/or fines up to $2,500.00. You may also be facing a probationary period, mandatory drivers’ safety school, and/or public service. Furthermore, if you are convicted of driving with a suspended license, your license suspension period may be extended beyond the original term of suspension. For many individuals who continue to drive on a suspended license and therefore continue to be charged with this offense, suspension periods can be extended for many years.
