There are many reasons why a person’s driver’s license can be canceled or revoked. For example, they may have been arrested or convicted of DUI/DWI, failed to pay a parking ticket, or committed one of a number of other moving violations that resulted in license revocation. Even failing to pay child support can result in a revoked license. A conviction for these offenses can result in jail time, and additional loss of your driving privileges.
Addressing Driving After Revocation Charges In Minnesota
Driving after revocation is a Misdemeanor in Minnesota. If convicted, the maximum penalty is 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. A first time conviction results in an additional 30 days of license revocation.
Driving after cancellation is also a Misdemeanor unless the person’s license was canceled as Inimical of Public Safety. Under the latter, the person will be charged with a gross misdemeanor. If convicted, the maximum punishment is one year in jail and a fine of $3,000.
