What if I Continue to Drive While my License is Suspended?
If you are caught driving while your license is suspended, the penalties increase depending on whether you have had previous suspensions.
Lesser penalties range from 5 days to 6 months in jail and a fine of $300-$1,000. From there, it jumps to 10 days—one year in jail and fines up to $2,000. These terms could be increased depending on the circumstances of the suspension, like also driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
California Business and Professions Code 25661 defines the crime of minors having possession of a fake ID.
