Legal Question in Traffic Law in Virginia

Virginia Revoked Suspended License Penalties (Fine &/Or Jail time)

Virginia Driving on a Revoked or Suspended License is one of the most serious traffic offenses one can be charged with in Virginia second only to Virginia DUI/DWI with a high blood alcohol content. This charge carries a real probability of jail time and most judges in northern Virginia will ask the defendant to secure an attorney if the defendant is unrepresented on the first court appearance.

Selecting an experienced criminal defense law firm can be the most important decision you make.

There is a number of possible consequences that can result from a conviction, including the restriction or loss of your right to drive, increases in insurance costs, fines, court costs, and even imprisonment. This is a Class 2 misdemeanor, and the maximum penalty for a first offense is a jail sentence of 6 months, a $1,000 fine, and a license suspension for the same period for which it had been previously suspended (or up to 90 days if the suspension was indefinite).
