Traffic Lawyer in Denver CO | Driving Without a License

Driving Without a License

Charge Overview: Driving without a license in Colorado is typically charged as a traffic infraction, punishable by points on your (non-existent) license and fines.
Consequences for Repeated Offenses: Accumulating these infractions can lead to a suspended license status, even if you never had a license. Subsequent offenses can escalate to driving under revocation, a more serious charge.
Unique Implications for Undocumented Immigrants: For undocumented immigrants, these charges can be particularly concerning, as any interaction with the legal system carries the risk of detection by immigration authorities and possible initiation of removal proceedings.

Understanding the Severity: Driving under suspension or revocation is treated as a serious offense in Colorado, often resulting in jail time. This is especially true if you are deemed a Habitual Traffic Offender, which can occur after accumulating a certain number of specific traffic offenses within a designated period.
Habitual Traffic Offender Status: Being labeled as a Habitual Traffic Offender significantly aggravates the charges and can lead to extended incarceration for seemingly minor infractions like driving without a license.
