42-2-101(2), C.R.S. provides: "No person shall drive any motor vehicle upon a highway in this state if such person's driver's or minor driver's license has been expired for one year or less and such person has not been issued another such license by the department or by another state or country subsequent to such expiration." However, if your license has been expired for less than one year, the court will dismiss the charge against you if: at or before your scheduled court appearance, you show the court a currently valid driver's or minor driver's license.
