Unlicensed drivers are chronic
problems on the roads. The consequences of driving with no valid driver license
are severe; and as a deterrent to individuals who continue to drive illegally,
the consequences may ramp up.
The first time a police finds you
driving with no valid driver license, you will receive a ticket and will not be
permitted to drive further on the road. The second time you get caught driving
with no valid driver license, your offense would be placed on your record and
police will be informed. They may also impound your vehicle for at least seven
days, whether you own the vehicle or not. This consequence will continue until
you get a valid license, which means you have to go through a meeting with all
the other licensing offices and will be paying a lot of fines.
A driver’s license issued outside
the country or state may get a warning and may be allowed to drive for 6 months
until they get a foreign driver’s license. For new residents of the state, if
you hold a valid driver’s license issued outside the state, you are allowed to
use such license for a maximum of 90 days to give you time to meet any
application requirements. One consequence of driving with no valid driver’s
license is that you see a jump in your insurance rates. The insurance companies
will examine your driving record prior to premiums for the year after. An added
2 points to your license will cause insurance companies to raise your rates.
No matter what the reason is,
there is no excuse for being on the road without a valid driver’s license.
Anyone who drives with no valid driver’s license is endangering the lives of
the others in the road because, according to the law, they aren’t qualified to
be behind the wheel. But of course, there are instances that drivers did not
intend to drive without a valid license. In that case, hiring a traffic
attorney to represent you may be the best way out of this situation.
Staying legal on the road is the best way
to go. For more questions and information about consequences for driving with
no valid driver license, consult the nearest traffic attorney in your area.
