Facing A Driving With A Suspended License Charge?

Penalties If Convicted Of Driving With A Suspended License
New York does not take suspended license charges lightly. Driving with a suspended license can also lead to AUO charges (aggravated unlicensed operation). Depending on the degree of severity, the penalties can increase. The court will look at your record, any criminal history and other traffic violations.
The potential penalties include:
- Third-degree AUO: A misdemeanor charge with up to 30 days of jail time and $500 in fines
- Second-degree AUO: A misdemeanor charge with up to 180 days of jail time and a $500 minimum in fines
- First-degree AUO: A felony charge with potential state prison time and up to $5,000 in fines
In addition to potential fines, surcharges can drive costs even higher. As you can see, the penalties are significant in New York. The best thing you can do is to consult an experienced criminal defense lawyer about your charges.
