Failure to Provide a Driver’s License

Most often, drivers who are unable to provide a valid driver’s license to a law enforcement officer during a traffic stop will be charged with driving after revocation, driving after cancellation, or driving under a suspended license depending on the specific scenario. The majority of drivers who no longer have a valid driver’s license have had it revoked because of multiple traffic violations leading to loss of points, or multiple DUI’s that eventually lead to revocation or cancellation of the license. Failure to provide a driver’s license is a serious traffic violation if you have been issued this citation, you should talk to a Minneapolis criminal attorney with Martin Law Offices to discuss how to best approach your case.

Failing to provide a valid driver’s license can result in serious penalties. Being found guilty of driving after revocation, for example, can lead to a 90 day jail sentence and up to $1,000 in fines. Driving after cancellation is the more serious charge of the two, and may result in the offender spending up to one year in jail with fines up to $3,000. Beyond jail time and fines are the other side effects of being charged with any of these crimes. Facing charges related to failure to provide a driver’s license can be expensive and embarrassing.
