DRIVING WHILE SUSPENDED - DWS

Driving While Suspended or Revoked? The potential consequences are severe for driving while suspended (DWS) or revoked (DWR):

• In many states, it is a jailable offense and your license can be suspended for an additional 90 days or more with no hardship license.
• Other states will suspend your license for 12 months even on a first offense and you can go to jail.

Suspension for Excessive Violations/Excessive Points

Some states such as Kansas may label you as a "habitual violator" if you are convicted of, or plead guilty to, three serious traffic offenses within a five-year period. This can mean a three-year license revocation with no hardship license.

Serious violations can include:

• DUI/DWI (Even Diversions)
• Driving While Suspended Or Revoked
• Reckless Driving
• No Proof Of Insurance
• Eluding A Police Officer
• Some Serious Auto Accidents

Several problems occur if you are ticketed and convicted of a Driving While Suspended or Revoked charge.

1. You have a suspended license, which you may or may-not know about. Here's why: Remember that it is required that within 10 days of moving, you notify the Driver Control Bureau of your new address.

2. A driving while suspended conviction will suspended your license for an additional 90 days after you clear up the original reason on your driving record that has caused your license to be suspended, prior to this conviction.
