Driving With A Suspended Drivers License In New Paltz
The name of the charge in New York is aggravated unlicensed operation (AUO), but the crime is driving with a suspended driver’s license. As a misdemeanor, AUO is a more serious crime and carries greater penalties than a normal traffic violation. If you are facing charges of driving with a suspended driver’s license, you need a lawyer who is tough and experienced.
I have more than 25 years of experience as a New Paltz driving with a suspended driver’s license attorney. At the New Paltz, New York, law firm of Lawrence R. Trank, PLLC, I can help defend you against these charges to minimize your charges or have them dismissed.
Driving With A Suspended License Is More Serious Than A Simple Moving Violation
Aggravated unlicensed operation is a misdemeanor, which means it is more serious than a simple traffic violation. The law takes unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle very seriously, with penalties ranging from additional fines to a possible jail sentence if you are convicted.
Causes For Driver’s License Suspensions
There are many reasons why your driver’s license might be suspended, including:
- Past due traffic violation tickets
- Lapse in insurance coverage
- DWI or felony DWI
- Excessive points accumulated in the driver’s license point system
Regardless of the reason for the license suspension, if you are charged with driving with a suspended license, I have the experience to defend you.
