Is Driving without a Valid License Illegal?

November 8, 2010

Driving without a valid license is like asking for someone to come along and lock you up and throw away the key to future licensing. It is totally illegal to drive without a valid license. Either in your possession or, if you forgot it at home. At least on the books of your state. Driving without a valid license is not a misdemeanor, either, as it is a serious crime. In some states, not only will you be facing a heavy fine if you are caught, but you may also be facing some heavy-duty time behind bars because you chose to ignore the basic laws of your state. This is not a laughing matter. While you can request a full jury trial on this issue, you may be burying yourself than if you had relied on a hearing in the judge's chambers.
