re: Driving under suspended license - question

Are you in Louisiana?
From a quick search, it looks like being ticketed for driving under a suspended license may result in him losing his license for another year.
From a New Orleans law firm
So it sounds like you cleared up his original ticket (the reason his license was suspended) by paying the fines, but haven't yet addressed the charge/ticket for driving with the suspended license. Not sure how to get out of the punishment for driving when he wasn't supposed to if he pleads guilty or is found guilty.

Any period of suspension or revocation shall automatically be extended for a period of one year from the date the licensee would otherwise have been entitled to apply for a new license upon his conviction for any offense involving the operation of a motor vehicle committed during such period.
quote:OMV site
Any conviction of driving while suspended will requires a one year suspension.

If you are caught driving while under suspension, you will be ticketed. Legally speaking, if you pay a ticket you offering an admission of guilt, or pleading guilty to your conviction. If you are caught driving with a suspended license and pay the ticket your license will automatically be suspended for one year. It is best practice to consult a New Orleans traffic lawyer before paying any tickets.

Do not follow this advise...it is wrong.
It’s not advise at all, it’s reality in which the punishment will be. I was ignorant to my suspended liscense and that is exactly what happened to me. I fought and fought but the DA in shity Morgan City would not budge. When you are caught driving under a suspended liscense you automatically loose your liscense for one year. You can get a restricted liscense without an SR22, you do not need it because it wasn’t a DWI.

I took him to the OMV and paid all the fines that were owed,
That was a mistake. Why was the license suspended for in the first place? Then if it was suspended why did he drive knowing that it was? Then why did you go pay all his fines and fees and get him a new licence and a plate knowing he had a court date (for what)?

DUS doesn’t receive a ticket; it receives a misdemeanor summons as it is a criminal offense. Pleading to DUS will cause another suspension. Pleading to certain reduced charges will be viewed by the DMV as pleading to DUS (no drivers license on person, for instance) and they will suspend the license anyway.
In short, talk to an attorney. A DUS shouldn’t cost much.

DL's are a money making racket, not to mention you're paying to put your photo in a national database.
What are they gonna do, take away your license that you never got in the 1st place?
Any lawyer types ever tried arguing that, since a person never signed the contract that is the signature on a license, they are not bound by the conditions of the contract, and therefore not subject to the civil penalties? (criminal penalties would be another matter)

It's better to never get a license.

You're leaving out the part where you caused an accident while DUS.

I never caused an accident, I was just speeding down HWY 90 right after the bridge in Morgan City at like 2 A.M. I just don’t understand, it’s been posted already in this thread, under Louisiana law, if you drive under a suspended liscense, you will loose your drivers liscense for 1 year. Plain and simple. If your legal team can’t do anything about it, you’re screwed out of luck for 1 year.

I thought you said you were in an accident in ops other thread. They must have hated you because your case isn't the norm at all. They're going to reduce ops step son ticket to a non moving violation. Case closed.

It’s because the court knows you’re a welching bitch that doesn’t pay up when you lose a bet.

In Louisiana, if he was stopped and cited for 32:415 (DUS) and his license and license plates was taken (License Plates are not taken unless the driver has no insurance or no proof of insurance), he must go to the DMV, pay the fee to have his license reinstated, pay whatever other fees he owes for the insurance violation and present proof of insurance. He will be be given a clearance letter from DMV which he must then take to court on his court date and present to the court. He must then pay his fines to the jurisdiction for driving under suspension and the insurance violation (or make suitable arrangements for payment). Once done, he will receive a clearance letter from the Court that he must take back to DMV, showing that all fines have been cleared. He will then get his driver's license and license plate back.
