A: Convictions on no driver's license cases will: 1) delay your ability to obtain a license; 2) impose a surcharge [tax] on your license once you obtain one; and, 3) subject you in the future to an enhanced charge of Driving while License Invalid, where jail time can be imposed as part of the punishment. The State is not kidding about requiring a person to have a valid license before they can drive. Eventually, you will be put in jail if you don't get a licence, so either A) Get a Driver's License, or B) Quit Driving. Call a local attorney regarding your next ticket to see if a conviction can be avoided. Good Luck.
