Drive While Suspended
Driving whilst suspended is when a person has driven a motor vehicle on a road or road related area, of the class to which the suspended driver licence relates. Driver licences are suspended by the Roads and Traffic Authority. It may also be suspended by the police where the police can suspend any driver licence held by a person to whom a suspension notice is given is suspended (in accordance with the terms of the notice). This offence also covers applying for a driver licence during the period of suspension for a motor vehicle of the class to which the suspended driver licence relates, falsely stating their name or incorrectly/does not disclose the suspension.
If you have been charged with driving with your licence suspended, you may be facing a driver’s licence disqualification period of at least 12 months (if it is your first offence of this nature), a fine of $3,300 and/or 18 months gaol.
