A valid license is one which is
not SUSPENDED, REVOKED, or EXPIRED, and is issued to you.

You have been involved in a collision without insurance.
You failed to appear in court.
You failed to complete a court ordered program.
You violated your probation or parole.
You failed to provide child support.
You have been issued a citation for being an unlicensed driver.
You have medical restrictions.
Fact: More than 50% of all persons
driving with a suspended license were convicted of driving under
the influence of drugs or alcohol.
IF YOU GET CAUGHT DRIVING
WITHOUT A LICENSE...
YOU WILL BE ARRESTED!
In California, driving without
a license is a misdemeanor crime, and you are subject to arrest.
However, under certain circumstances, some agencies will release
you after issuing you a citation (ticket). By signing the citation,
you are promising to appear in court at the date and time specified
on the citation.
If you fail to appear, the court
will issue a warrant for your arrest.
YOU COULD GO TO JAIL
AND PAY A FINE!
Depending on your previous driving record and criminal history,
you could be sentenced to 6 months in County Jail, and be fined
up to $1,000.00 for your first offense.
Fact: 33% of drivers with a suspended or
revoked license have a criminal record. 85% of those
drivers use their vehicle in the commission of a crime.
YOUR VEHICLE WILL BE
IMPOUNDED FOR 30 DAYS!

a MANDATORY tow policy.

The owner of the vehicle will be
responsible for the towing, storage
and release fees. If you're not able to pay, your vehicle may
be
sold to recover the costs.
YOUR VEHICLE MAY
BE FORFEITED!
Upon a second conviction for driving
while unlicensed,
your vehicle may be forfeited.
Fact: 40% of those driving with
a suspended license are
repeat offenders. A large majority of unlicensed drivers are
also
uninsured.
