Bergen County Driving While Suspended Lawyer

License Suspension and Penalties

There are a number of different reasons that someone's license could be suspended in the State of New Jersey.  Failure to appear in court or to pay fines, receiving 12 points or more on their driving record, reckless driving, or driving while intoxicated (DWI), can all result in a suspended license.

If a person's license was suspended due to a DWI and they continue to operate a motor vehicle, they could be fined up to $500.  Further penalties include 10 to 90 days imprisonment and 1 to 2 years could be added to the license suspension.  Motor vehicle registration could be revoked as well.  If the individual is involved in an accident and someone is hurt, they will be sentenced to a mandatory 45 days in jail.  It is a serious offense to drive while a license is suspended and the penalties can be very harsh.  It is of great importance to seek expert legal advice of a skilled Teaneck DWI attorney.
