Defense for Driving With a Revoked License
The first offense as well as the second driving with a revoked license offense are both charged as misdemeanors. The third time you are caught driving with a revoked license you will be charged with a felony offense. These accumulated misdemeanors can cause you to be designated as a habitual offender which carries additional penalties.
The penalty for being labeled a habitual traffic offender is a five year driver's license suspension. If you are caught driving while under this designation it could be charged as a and third-degree felony conviction and would carry a potential five year criminal sentence.
Defense for Florida Habitual Traffic Offender
It is possible to become a habitual offender without even knowing it. For example, you could receive a civil infraction for non-payment of child support or for moving without telling the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). A second criminal traffic violation, such as speeding 16 miles per hour over the limit, becomes a first degree misdemeanor, and a third violation for leaving the scene of a crime has now made you a habitual traffic offender.
