What is Driving with a Suspended License (DWLS)?
Florida Statute 322.34 pertains to the crime of driving with a suspended or revoked license. This section outlines the different penalties and sentences that may be imposed for this crime, depending on the circumstances of the offense and the offender’s prior criminal history.
Under this section, it is generally a moving violation to drive a vehicle on the highways of Florida while one’s driver’s license or driving privilege is canceled, suspended, or revoked, except for “habitual traffic offenders” as defined in section 322.264. However, if a person is caught driving on a canceled, suspended, or revoked license, knowing their status, they are guilty of a second-degree misdemeanor. A second or subsequent DWLS charge can be a first-degree misdemeanor. If someone gets a third or subsequent charge, they can be charged with a third-degree felony. A person can also be charged with a felony if it’s their third time and the current violation or the most recent prior violation is related to driving while their license canceled, suspended, revoked, or suspension or revocation equivalent status resulting from a violation of driving under the influence, refusal to submit to a urine, breath, or blood alcohol test, a traffic offense causing death or serious bodily injury, or fleeing or eluding.
