Los Angeles DUI: Driving on a Suspended License

Driving with a suspended license is a serious offense – if your driving privileges have been suspended by the DMV, continuing to drive will put your criminal case as well as your freedom at risk. This is because the driving with a suspended license charge is a separate offense from the DUI. This means that you will be facing two criminal charges if your DUI court case is not completed. And regardless, any past criminal charges will be factored into the driving on a suspended license charge. The minimum sentence for conviction is 10 days in jail, even if you did not serve jail time for the DUI conviction.

In addition to the jail time, you run the risk of having your vehicle impounded, or sold as a nuisance, either of which can severely impair your ability to continue to work and meet financial obligations. Coupled with required jail time and the damage that can be done to your DUI case if you are charged with another crime while your Los Angeles DUI criminal proceedings are still ongoing, driving while your license is suspended is just not worth the risk. However, if you do drive while your license is suspended, and are charged, you must seek qualified advice from a Los Angeles DUI defense lawyer as soon as possible.

A skilled Los Angeles DUI defense attorney may be able to arrange alternative sentencing, or other provisions (such as serving your jail time on the days you do not work) which can help keep you financially afloat despite the situation. Additionally, because every DUI case is unique, only a qualified Los Angeles DUI defense attorney will be able to assess your situation and give you the best advice possible based upon the circumstances surrounding your case. If you’ve been charged with driving on a suspended license and haven’t already spoken to a Los Angeles DUI defense attorney, don’t delay – you must act swiftly in order to have the best chance of a successful outcome in your case.
