Driving on a Suspended License

If your license is suspended and you ignore the problem, it will definitely catch up to you one way or another. If convicted, your license may be revoked altogether, and you could face fines of $500 and two months of jail time (Maryland article TA§ 16-303). And that’s just for a first offense. If it happens a second time, the fine doubles and jail time increases to one year. Those sanctions double again if there’s a third offense.

How Will I Know There’s a Problem?

The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) sends out a notice of suspension requiring you to surrender your license by a particular date. Unfortunately, some people don’t pay attention to their mail, and quite often drivers don’t even realize there’s a problem until they are pulled over for an unrelated issue and are informed of their status from the officer right there on the roadside.

Reasons for Driver License Suspension

There are a number of circumstances under which individuals lose their driving privilege in Maryland. The most common issues related to license suspension and/or revocation are:

• Unpaid traffic ticket(s);
• The accumulation of a disqualifying number of driving points;
• Having the Medical Advisory Board deem you as unfit to drive due to medical limitations;
• Violating restrictions on your license;
• Declining to take a Breathalyzer when asked by law enforcement;
• Driving while intoxicated;
• Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Obtaining a Restricted License in Howard County
