Car Insurance Question  What are the penalties if i am caught driving with a suspended license in the state of california? And will my license be suspended for longer?

According to the California Vehicle Code if a suspended driver is caught driving a vehicle the California Highway Patrol has authorization to tow and impound the vehicle for up to 30 days. If you have a prior conviction for driving while with a suspended license there is the possibility that the vehicle could be taken from you by the state as a forefeit.

Other penalties for continuing to drive with a suspended license can include getting your license suspension time lengthened or license revoked, fines or even jail time. This is a serious offense in California as it is in most states.

Once your suspension is lifted you must show proof of financial responsiblity so at that time get a quote from us for California auto insurance.
