If I was caught driving with a suspended license what will be the penalty? Also, will it make my license suspended for longer?

The penalty for driving with a suspended license varies from state to state. You will want to contact your state's Department of Motor Vehicles.

Most states break down suspension penalties by the reason for suspension:

  • suspension for driving without insurance
  • failure to comply with a traffic summons or appear in court
  • suspended for being incapable of operating a motor vehicle safely
  • suspension for too many license points in a certain time period
  • suspension for a violation (not DUI related) resulting in death or personal injury
  • suspended for being delinquent in child support
  • suspension or revoked for inadequate vision

By state, each reason for suspension may have different associated penalties and fees.
