S<\/span>everal California<\/em> drivers have found that they didn\u2019t fully appreciate how much independence they enjoyed as a result of their driver\u2019s license until the state suspended that license, making it impossible for the person to drive themselves.<\/p>\n

Why California Driver\u2019s Licenses Are Suspended<\/h3>\n

There are a variety of reasons your California driver\u2019s license could be suspended. The most common cause for suspensions is a DUI<\/em> conviction. Unpaid tickets, severe driving infractions, and simply accumulating too many bad driving points can also result in a suspension. There are even cases where California driver\u2019s licenses have been suspended for non-driving offenses, the most common of which is unpaid child support<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What a Suspended California Driver\u2019s License Means<\/h3>\n

If your license has been suspended it means you can\u2019t drive, for any reason, until you\u2019re able to get the license reinstated. In some cases, such as drunk driving<\/a> and reckless driving, the suspension has a time limit, such as 6 months. In other cases, it remains suspended until you correct whatever issue triggered the suspension. For example, if it was suspended because you didn\u2019t pay child support, it will remain suspended until you\u2019ve gotten caught up on what you owe.<\/p>\n

Driving on a Suspended California Driver\u2019s License<\/h3>\n

California\u2019s Vehicle Code #14601.1<\/strong> deals with the issue of anyone who is caught driving on a suspended license in California<\/em>. It states, \u201c(a)\u00a0No person shall drive a motor vehicle when his or her driving privilege is suspended or revoked for any reason other than those listed in Section 14601, 14601.2, or 14601.5, if the person so driving has knowledge of the suspension or revocation. Knowledge shall be conclusively presumed if mailed notice has been given by the department to the person pursuant to Section 13106. The presumption established by this subdivision is a presumption affecting the burden of proof.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The penalties that can be connected to driving on a suspended driver\u2019s license in California include:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Having to spend time in jail<\/li>\n
  • Substantial fines<\/li>\n
  • Probation<\/li>\n
  • Additional costs for any additional traffic violations that were committed while you drove with a suspended license<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    If your California<\/em> driver\u2019s license is suspended and you can\u2019t fathom how you\u2019ll get by without it, there\u2019s a chance you can appeal to the court and get what California<\/em> calls a hardship license. This type of license is a heavily regulated one that limits where you can drive and even what times you can drive. If you\u2019re caught driving at a time or for a purpose that doesn\u2019t align with the limits, you\u2019ll be charged with driving on a suspended license.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
