DuPage Driving While License Suspended or Revoked

When a person's driving privileges are taken away, life becomes a daily challenge. You may need to get to work, bring your children to school, or just run daily errands like grocery shopping. It may be very tempting to go ahead and drive on a suspended or revoked license, but it is a crime and you are running a serious risk.

There are many reasons that your license can become suspended. These include failure to pay tickets, failure to appear in court, auto emission test failures, delinquent child support, driving without insurance, or the result of a DUI. In Illinois, driving while your license is suspended or revoked as a first time offender is a Class A Misdemeanor punishable by up to 364 days in jail and up to a $2,500 fine. If your license was suspended due to a DUI and you are convicted of driving while suspended, the penalty includes a mandatory 10 days in jail or 240 hours of community service. A second or third charge may be classified as a Class 4 Felony punishable by a mandatory 30 days in jail or 300 hours of community service. A fourth conviction carries a mandatory sentence of 6 months in jail. Additionally, the long-term consequences can be severe, including permanent revocation of your license and a criminal record.
