Virginia Suspended License and Revoked License Offenses
Virginia Drivers License Offenses
In Virginia, operating a motor vehicle without the sufficient privileges to do so is criminal in nature. Numerous laws exist, and while our Fairfax criminal defense attorney can handle most types of charges, we cover three of the most common charges on our website. After the links to these three top charges, you can access the general license suspension and revocation page, as well as our Fairfax County traffic court information and tips page. Our Fairfax criminal lawyer and Virginia traffic attorney serves clients in most Northern Virginia jurisdictions, not solely Fairfax County.
Three Common Drivers License-Related
Based on a recent analysis of public arrest records, several of the most common criminal offenses were revealed to be violations related to insufficient privileges to operate a motor vehicle. These offenses are criminal violations, as opposed to mere traffic infractions. Be careful not to confuse a the charges on this page with the non-criminal traffic infraction for failing to possess a license. The names of these Virginia Code sections may be misleading to a non-lawyer: if charged with a drivers license offense, we suggest checking your Virginia Uniform Summons to determine the Virginia Code section number (to ensure you read the correct page related to your charge).
Virginia Code § 46.2-300 – Driving without a license
The most common offense, according to the 2013 analysis, was Virginia Code § 46.2-300, “Driving without a license.” About 12% of the criminal arrests publicly reported for a given period in 2013 were the result of violations of this offense. This offense is punishable as a Class 1 or Class 2 misdemeanor (jail time and substantial fines are a possibility, if convicted).
Virginia Code § 46.2-301 – Driving while license, permit, or privilege to drive suspended or revoked
Not far behind “Driving without a license,” and accounting for nearly 11% of arrests, is Virginia Code § 46.2-301, “Driving while license, permit, or privilege to drive suspended or revoked.” This criminal offense is punishable as a Class 1 misdemeanor. Unlike many other Class 1 misdemeanors, however, certain offenders may face mandatory jail time.
Virginia Code § 18.2-272 – “Driving after forfeiture”
A far less frequently violated offense (less than 1% of arrests), yet usually more severely punished, is Virginia Code § 18.2-272, “Driving after forfeiture.” Typically, this offense is charged when a person drives while their license is revoked following a DWI conviction. This charge may be punished as a misdemeanor or a felony, depending upon the facts and circumstances of the case.
