Illinois Penalties for Driving on a Suspended License
At a minimum, driving while your license is suspended is a Class A
misdemeanor, which carries penalties of up to 1 year in jail and fines of up to $2,500.
However, driving on a suspended license may be a
felony depending on the circumstances and the reason your license was initially
