You can find out your state's penalties for this 2nd violation by checking with your DMV. Generally the penalties include imprisonment, fines, vehicle impoundment and additional license revocation period.Here are a couple of specific state penalty examples: In New York this violation of the law is termed an Aggravated Unlicensed Operation (AUO). Being caught driving with a revoked license a 2nd time within an 18 month time period is an AUO-2nd degree and is a misdemeanor. The penalty is a minimum fine of $500, a mandatory surcharge, and mandatory imprisonment up to 180 days or probation.
