Los Angeles, CA, Oct. 11, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Los
Angeles traffic ticket attorney, Mr. Ticket, warns California
drivers about the consequences of driving on a suspended license.
In California, driving is considered a privilege rather than a
right. This privilege can be suspended or revoked under certain
circumstances.
According to California Vehicle Code 14601, those who drive after
they have received notice that their driver's licenses have been
suspended are breaking the law. A suspension or revocation of a
license may be issued for drivers who have too many points and are
declared negligent operators, those who have mental or physical
disabilities that interfere with their ability to drive safely and
those who have convictions for driving under the influence. The
license is not necessarily reinstated automatically after the
suspension or revocation ends. Drivers must take specific steps to
apply for a new license. An experienced
suspended license lawyer in Los Angeles can provide essential
information and assistance as drivers seek to regain their licenses
after a suspension or revocation.
Driving on a suspended license can be considered a misdemeanor
crime. Those who are convicted of violating this vehicle code may
be facing substantial fines and jail time. The penalty may vary
based on the reason for the suspension or revocation of the
driver's license and the operator's knowledge of the suspension or
revocation.
A first time conviction for non-DUI offenses can include fines of
up to $1,000 and between five days and six months of jail time. A
second offense can include fines of up to $2,000 and jail time that
can range between 10 days and one year. DUI-related offenses
include much harsher penalties. Fines and jail time can be much
greater, and the offender may be required to use an interlock
mechanism in his or her vehicle for monitoring purposes.
