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.
