the three degrees of a suspended license in NY
There are three degrees of driving with a suspended license in New York. Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle in the third degree (VTL §511.1) is a misdemeanor crime. This occurs when a person is driving on a public road while knowing or having reason to know that his or her license or privilege of obtaining a license is suspended or revoked. The penalty for this charge is a fine of between $200 and $500, and up to 30 days in jail.
Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle in the second degree (VTL §511.2), also a misdemeanor crime, can be committed in a variety of ways. The most common violation of this section is driving while your license is suspended or revoked for a DWI offense. Another common violation results from driving while a person has in effect three or more suspensions imposed on at least three separate dates for failure to appear in court or pay a court fine. The penalties for this misdemeanor are a fine of between $500 and $1,000, up to 180 days in jail, and/or up to 3 years’ probation.
