Reasons That Cause a License Suspension in Peoria, Arizona

Some of the conditions that will cause a license suspension are:

• Alcohol-related offenses
• Failing to appear in a court for a speeding ticket or other traffic violation,
• Causing a serious injury or accident with a motor vehicle,
• Driving recklessly,
• Driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol,
• Leaving the scene of an accident involving injury or death, or
• Having two or more convictions for reckless driving or DUI.

Penalties for Driving on a Suspended License

Under ARS §28-3473, “a person may not operate a motor vehicle on a public highway if the person’s privilege to drive a motor vehicle is suspended, revoked, canceled, or refused or if the person is disqualified from driving.” Driving with a suspended license is a class 1 misdemeanor. The penalties include a potential jail sentence for up to six months, probation, and fines up to $2,500. Arizona has a 15-day rule for license suspension charges; you have fifteen days from the arrest time to request an MVD hearing to challenge the suspension. If you do not request a hearing in that time frame, your license suspension will automatically go into effect.

Having your license suspended will mean you cannot commute to work, travel, attend appointments, and visit people the way you used to. You will have to depend on others or public transportation to take you places, which is burdensome and inconvenient.
