Along with
Driving Under the Influence (DUI) charges,
Driving with a Suspended or Revoked License (DWLSR) charges is another common offense in the State of Florida. When being charged, many are surprised that this is even a crime, but it is, and the charges associated with it can vary greatly, from civil (or non-criminal) traffic infraction charges to felony charges.
Like many other charges, the severity of DWLSR charges depends on a variety of factors. These factors include knowledge of the license suspension, the reason that the license was first suspended, and whether or not the individual has had any prior convictions for Driving with a Suspended or Revoked License.
As mentioned, the reason a license has been suspended can be an important factor in a DWLSR case. There are many reasons that a license can be suspended. They can include actual traffic violations or other issues, which means that some people may not even realize that their license has been suspended or revoked when they are pulled over.
Reasons a License Can Be Suspended
Reasons a license can be suspended include for lack of auto insurance, for not completing traffic school, for failure to appear in court on a traffic summons or pay a fine, for inadequate vision, for points already on the license, for traffic violations that have ended in personal injury or death, or even for delinquency in paying child support.
