There are a number of ways a drivers license may be suspended or revoked, and often without the motorist even knowing his or her license has been suspended. Failing to answer a ticket is the most common. Others include driving without insurance in effect, excessive points on your license, multiple speeding ticket convictions and alcohol related offenses. The majority of suspended license tickets issued in Southampton are for a violation of VTL 511.1a. This is a misdemeanor charge and therefore important that the charge be dismissed or reduced otherwise you will have a criminal record. If you have been charged with driving with a suspended license returnable to the Southampton Town Court or the Southampton Village Court, contact Southampton traffic lawyer Gary S. Miller for a free consultation.
