In Florida a suspended license case is an enhanceable offense. So each suspended license case gets more serious. This is why you should contact our Flagler County criminal defense attorneys if you are accused of driving on a suspended license. A first time driving on a suspended license case is a second degree misdemeanor punishable by up to a $500 fine, court cost and a maximum of 60 days jail, 6 months of probation or any combination of the two. The second driving while license suspended case (DWLS) is a first degree misdemeanor punishable by up to a $1,000 fine, court cost and a maximum of 364 days jail, 12 months of probation or any combination of the two. A third DWLS offense or driving on a HTO suspension is a third degree felony punishable by up to a $5,000 fine, court cost and a maximum of 5 years in prison, 60 months of probation or any combination of the two. The bigger issue with a felony suspended license case is that it could result in a felony conviction. This means you could be required to register as a convicted felon, could not vote and could not own a firearm.
If you have 3 suspended license cases within 5 years your license will be suspended for 5 years and you will be designated as a habitual traffic offender or HTO. Payable suspended license tickets also count. DUI or a felony in the commission of which a motor vehicle is used and leaving the scene of a crash with injuries also count as one of the three strikes towards HTO designation. You can also be designated as a habitual traffic offender for fifteen moving traffic offense convictions for which points may be assessed.
A non-criminal Palm Coast suspended license without knowledge ticket can also county as a strike towards habitual traffic offender designation. Flagler County had over 300 non-criminal driving on a suspended license without knowledge tickets in 2014.
