Can you go to jail for driving with a PA suspended license?

Yes you can! There are many different ways that jail time can be assessed for driving with a suspended license, and if you continue to drive you can go to jail for suspended driving.

The most common reason would be for driving under suspension for a DUI related violation. This means that if you have a license suspension because of a DUI, and you are stopped driving under suspension after that DUI, then jail time is mandatory if you are convicted.

You can also go to jail for driving under suspension too many times. A judge will have the ability to asses jail time if you have been charged with driving under suspension too many times. The jail time can range in length of time, and the judge can decide based on how many times you have been convicted.

There are other violations that can result in jail time for driving, violations like driving without a license has provisions to let a judge give you jail time for driving suspended. In all of these cases you best bet is to get help!

Do not go it alone when dealing with driving under suspension or driving without a license, your freedom could be at stake!
