Common Reasons for License Suspension
A driver may have their license suspended or revoked for various reasons. One of the most common is accumulating too many points on their driving record, which would classify them as a habitual traffic offender. Another possibility is a suspension for DUI (driving under the influence) or for refusing a breath or blood test after a DUI arrest. Whatever the reason, if you drive while your license is suspended, you can face harsh penalties.
There are, however, legal defenses to driving on a suspended license in California:
Absolute speed limits are the posted speed limits that are fixed regardless of the driving conditions. It is always illegal to drive faster than the posted speed limit no matter the circumstances. Driving 80mph in a 65mph zone is a violation of the absolute speed limit regardless of the weather or any other driving conditions.
You did not know that your license was suspended.
Your license was not suspended or revoked.
You had a sufficiently good reason to drive even though your license was suspended. Driving because a family member was having a medical emergency, for example, may be a valid reason.
