Driving While License Suspended and Driving While License Revoked Are Serious Charges With Serious Penalties

If you have been charged with Driving While License Suspended DWLS or Driving While License Revoked DWLR you can read the legal mumble jumble here but what you want to know is what is going to happen to you.

If you are convicted of a first Driving While License Suspended then it is possible that the Judge can sentence you to Cook County Jail (as much as 364 days and nights) and fine you (up to $2500 in fines and $1381 in Assessments “court costs’). In addition your original suspension period will be doubled.

If you are convicted of Driving While License Revoked , you will face revocation for an additional year. Not only will you lose your driving privileges, you may lose your car. One of the possible penalties is that seizure or forfeiture of your car is possible-Seizure does not stop any payments you owe on it as well.

While a first offense is charged as a misdemeanor, a second offense is a felony.
