Driving on a Suspended License after an IN OWI – Is it Worth the Risk?
People drive with suspended licenses all the time. There are many reasons why. Maybe someone wants to impress others by breaking the law, or maybe there was an emergency where a driver with a suspended license needed to get behind the wheel. These circumstances aside, the main reason why people drive on suspended licenses is because they think they’ll never get caught.
And chances are they never will.
However, you can never be too sure, especially if you live in Indiana and have previously been arrested for a DUI. Indiana driving laws are tough and driving on a suspended license is a risky move. If you do get caught, you will get in a lot of trouble. Here is what could possibly happen:
· Depending on the severity of your IN OWI, you could spend time in jail.
· You will need to pay an additional fine.
· Another license suspension will be added on to your current suspension.
· Additionally, if you are considered a habitual offender by the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, you most likely have a license suspension for ten years. If you continue to drive on this suspension, you will lose your license for life and spend five years in jail.
So, is it worth it?
You need to think long and hard if you want to get behind the wheel on a suspended license. Although people think they can get away with it, there are instances happening every day where people get caught and end up losing their driving privileges for a long time.
As you weigh your options, know that the help of an experienced IN OWI attorney is the first choice you should make. You should also know that you still have options. With the help of an IN OWI attorney you can appeal your suspension to the BMV or possibly enroll in Indiana’s Safe Drivers Program. This program can reduce your suspension and remove points from your license.
