In Wichita, Kansas, what is the most that can happen when taken to jail because of a revoked driver's license for the first time?

Driving while your driver's license is revoked in a few different locations under Kansas statutes (such as 8-255, 8-256 and 8-262).

Within these KS Statutes it notes that during the time that your driver’s license is revoked, you cannot drive any place for any purpose. Being convicted of driving on a revoked driver’s license is a class A non-person misdemeanor which is punishable by up to one year in jail and/or a $250 fine. The revocation period of your driver’s license begins again for a period of three years from the date of your sentencing on a driving conviction you receive during your revocation.

A person convicted of a second or greater conviction of driving while suspended or revoked is guilty of a class A non-person misdemeanor. This is punishable by incarceration of at least five days, not exceeding one year. The person is not eligible for parole until completion of five days imprisonment. The fine may not be less than $100 and cannot exceed $2,500.

The Kansas Department of Revenue shall extend any driver’s license suspension or revocation by ninety days upon conviction of a driving while suspended (or revoked) charge. The additional ninety days suspension does not begin to run until the previous suspension or revocation has terminated and the licensee would otherwise be eligible for reinstatement.

If you were also cited for driving without insurance, it tends to be that those that are unlicensed are also uninsured, then be aware that a first time offender found driving without insurance must pay fines between $300 to $1000 in addition to losing their driver's licenses and vehicle plates, both of which can be reinstated through payment of a fee and proof of insurance coverage.

You will probably also be required to show future proof of insurance with a SR-22 once you are able to get your license back as part of the reinstatement process after your revocation is lifted. 

If you were cited and put in jail for driving on a revoked license in Wichita, KS than you should contact the court listed on your ticket to find out more about the penalties typically hand out by the court for this offense since a court appearance is mandatory.
