Driving without a license in New York State is a traffic violation, but the status of the driver’s licensure directly affects the legal penalties that follow the arrest. A driver who never obtained a license in the first place can face different consequences than a motorist whose license has expired, been suspended, or been revoked entirely. The criteria are specific in these claims, creating a sort of legal minefield for any driver without representation by an attorney. To better understand the consequences of being stopped by the police for driving without a license, be sure to watch criminal defense attorney Arthur Pressman’s discussion of traffic violations in the video below.
