DRIVING WITHOUT A LICENSE, DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED LICENSE,
DRIVING ON A REVOKED LICENSE

   Maryland has both jailable and non-jailable charges for driving without a license, driving on a suspended license, and driving on a revoked license. Many of the charges relating to these offenses carry enhanced penalties, meaning that you may be facing a greater jail term if you have previously been convicted of one of these charges. These charges all carry points that will show up on your driving record if you are found guilty or if you are given a probation before judgment if you hold a commercial driver’s license or a commercial driver’s learners permit, and which points may prevent you from obtaining a license, or they may lead to a new potential driver’s license/CLP/CDL suspension or revocation. There are defenses to these charges though, such as not being given actual notice of driving on a suspended or a revoked license. Often times, driver’s licenses suspensions come from a driver forgetting to pay a ticket in Maryland or from any other state. If possible, you should always try and fix whatever issue led to these charges before Court, as this may greatly benefit your case. Many defendant’s often erroneously assume that driving without a license, driving on a suspended license, or driving on a revoked license is no big deal in Maryland, but many prosecutors and judges have recently taken much more aggressive stances on these charges, insisting on adverse consequences including potential jail time for the defendant.
