Driving with a Suspended License, Driving While Suspended, or Driving on a Suspended License (DWLS) is a very serious matter with serious consequences. Illinois State Law details Driving on a Suspended License at 625 ILCS 5/6-303.
A first offense is generally charged as a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to 364 days in jail and a $2,500.00 fine. Additionally, a first offense can be charged as a Class 4 felony punishable by up to 3 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections (prison), and a $25,000.00 fine if a person's license is suspended due to a Summary Suspension resulting from a DUI and they have driven a vehicle without a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID).
Driving While License Suspended is not the least bit like a minor traffic ticket; it involves a criminal arrest record, and the possibility of jail or prison. Additionally, a conviction for Driving While License Suspended (DWLS) usually results in extending the term of the original suspension of driving privileges which may result in the loss of a job or hinder the ability to obtain employment.
