Thinking of Driving With a Suspended or Revoked Driver’s License?
So your driver’s license has been suspended or may have even been revoked. You know you can’t legally drive your car but you need something at the drugstore. It’s only a few blocks away anyway, so it seems so easy. Hop into your car, drive to the nearest drugstore, be quick with your business, and return home. If you’re very careful, you won’t attract the attention of a police officer. Before you know it, you’ll be home scot-free. But is this the right way of thinking?
The Possibility of the Impossible
Yes, you’re driving so carefully that you probably won’t be noticed in the sea of many drivers, but there are a lot of things that can go wrong.- You may have been driving too slow or too fast that it attracted the attention of a police officer.
- Because of a wheel misalignment, your car may have been pulling to one side. From the back, it would have looked like the driver was a bit tipsy so the car was gently swerving right and left.
- Your tail lights or brake lights were not working, and you didn’t notice it when you left home.
- You were on your mobile phone for only a few minutes, but it was enough for an officer to notice you. After all, most states nowadays are banning the use of mobile phones when driving.
- Your inspection stickers were out of date.
- There was a road block ahead and the police were conducting vehicle inspection.
- It was pure bad luck that your car was mistaken for another vehicle.
- You parked illegally.
- Your vehicle’s windows were tinted too darkly.
- You forgot to use your turn signal.

I absolutely loved
the way you’ve highlighted all of the scenarios and I know who this article
would be most helpful for – my brother. He did the exact same thing that you’ve
mentioned. Despite my mom and dad strictly forbidding it, my brother decided to
drive to the supermarket a few blocks away with a suspended license. He was
lucky nothing happened and for a long time he enjoyed gloating about the fact
that he got away with it. In fact he was feeling pretty smug about it all and
kept saying nothing would happen if you stayed on the ‘down and low’ while
driving. Your section on ‘The Possibility of the Impossible’ is sure to act as
a great reality check for him. Penalties for DWLSR
