In Illinois, the base level charge for driving on a suspended or revoked license is a Class A misdemeanor, which carries up to 364 days in jail and $2,500 in fines. If you are driving with a suspended license after being convicted of DUI, Illinois law requires at least 10 days in jail or 30 days of community service. Other aggravating factors, such as causing bodily injury or death while driving on a suspended license, can result in the offense being charged as a felony. A conviction for driving on a suspended license will also usually result in an extension equal to the length of the original suspension, while driving on a revoked license can result in an additional year before you are eligible for reinstatement.
Be advised that if you are caught driving on a suspended license at the time you are arrested for DUI, the consequences of both offenses can also be much more severe. Illinois law holds that if you have a suspended license when you are arrested for DUI, you will be charged with aggravated driving under the influence, which is a Class 4 felony.#drivingsuspended/revokedlicense,
