Driving on a Suspended or Revoked License Laws in Utah
In Utah, driving with a suspended or revoked license is a crime punishable by substantial fines or even jail time. Utah uses a points-based system to determine when someone’s driver’s license should be suspended. Under Utah Code § 53-3-221(4)(a), drivers can receive points for infractions such as speeding, driving without insurance, and driving under the influence of alcohol. A driver’s license can also be suspended or revoked in relation to certain criminal convictions.
If your driver’s license is suspended or revoked and you are found driving in Salt Lake City, you will most likely be charged with a Class C misdemeanor (Utah Code § 53-3-227(2)), although the circumstances of each case can have an effect on the outcome. In some cases, including driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance or refusing to submit to test to determine if you are driving under the influence, you may be charged with a Class B misdemeanor.
