What are the penalties for driving with a revoked license in Florida?
Answer: If it’s a driving while license suspended with knowledge, the minimum could be incarceration for 60 days on a first offense because it’s a second degree misdemeanor. It could go up to a first degree misdemeanor if you have priors, which could send you to jail for up to 11 months 29 days. And if you have a previous criminal history, which would result in this being a third degree felony for driving as a habitual traffic offender, you could end up with five years in Florida state prison—not that you would necessarily get the maximum; a lot of that would be based upon your previous driving history, the reason for the suspension, what court we’re in, who’s the prosecutor, stuff like that.
