Driving with a Suspended License
One of the most common punishments for those convicted of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is the suspension of that individual’s driver’s license. During this time, it is against the law for the individual to operate a motor vehicle. However, there are a number of potential legal defenses which may be invoked in order to protect against charges of driving with a suspended license.
