What's the penalty for driving on a revoked license in Nevada?

Question

I got pulled over for driving on a revoked license in Nevada. Didn't do anything wrong they just ran my plates at a traffic light. What kind of fine or penalty should I expect ? thank you

Answer 1

It depends upon why the license was revoked in the first place and if you're already a felon.



Assuming misdemeanor, you should expect a fine of up to $1000 and up to six months in jail.

After DUI revocation, minimum 30 days jail and a $500 minimum fine.



Without any knowledge of your criminal or driving record, there's not a lot else to say; you may just get away with a $200 fine and possible extension of revocation. Or you may not.

Answer 2

Ever heard of calling the court house, checking online or speaking with an attorney? Since you have a REVOKED, not suspended, REVOKED license, that means you have tons of experience with the legal system. I would guessed that by now you should have some of these numbers on speed dial on your phone. REVOKED. All I did was to use Google, apparently, something you are not able to do as well on your own. Amazing. How old are you?



Criminal Charges for Driving on a Suspended or Revoked License

If you drive on a suspended or revoked license, you may be charged with a misdemeanor. (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 483.560(1).) A misdemeanor may involve a maximum penalty of a $1,000 fine and six months in jail. (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 193.150.)

You may be subject to minimum penalties under some circumstances. For example, certain convictions for DUI may result in a minimum sentence of:

30 days in jail, and

a $500 fine. (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 483.560(2).)

If you are convicted of driving while suspended or revoked, your license may be suspended or revoked for an additional period of time. (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 483.560(5).)

I would recommend jail time for you since you apparently have no concept to community and the people that live near you. Double amazing. Maybe that can push some sense into your brain. I can always hope.

Answer 3

Well typically this sort of situation is a misdemeanor in 24 states but in Nevada depending on circumstances for why your license is revoked can be induced as a felony charge. With that said fines can equal to about $10-k$20k and or 2-5 years federal prison.
