    Contents

    Operating a motor vehicle after your license is suspended means a further period of suspension. Additionally, you may be labeled a "habitual offender" and the suspension could become permanent.

    What are some defenses to driving on a suspended license?

    Some defenses for driving with a suspended license include:

    • never receiving official notice of suspension
    • the suspension was improper and your license has been reinstated
    • not actually "operating" the vehicle pursuant to the legal definition
    • not driving on a public road
