The vehicle code calls for the 2nd or any subsequent violation of driving while your operating privilege is revoked or suspended to pay a fine of not less than $200 but not more than $1000 or imprisonment for not more than six months or both. If you get caught driving with a revoked license 6 or more time times the penalty is a fine of not less than $1000 and imprisonment for not less than thirty days but not more than six months. A habitual violator of driving with a revoked license commits a misdemeanor in the 2nd degree.
The penalties should not change if the motorist with the revoked license has a child in the car, unless the child is not safe in a proper child safety seat for which the motorist should be ticketed for. If you are concerned for the child or about this motorist in Reading, PA being on the road without having a valid drivers license you can contact the Pennsylvania Driver and Vehicles Service or PENNDOT and make a complaint.
How Much Does SR22 Or DUI Insurance Cost?
Filed under: SR22 Pennsylvania, SR22 Philadelphia, Teen insurance Pennsylvania
Q: I’m going to have to get an SR22 for DUI conviction…how much can I expect to pay?
A: According to MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) a whole lot. On average, the least amount you’re looking at paying for SR22 for DUI in one year is $3600, up to around $6000 dollars. Once you’ve picked your jaw up off the floor, there’s more where that came from. Car insurance isn’t the only cost of a DUI. Not only will your license be suspended for six months before you can even try to get it back, but you will have to pay a mountain of fees and fines. The average amount a first time DUI offender pays in all is close to $11,000. And that’s before insurance.
You also risk being unable to get insurance from many places if you have to file an SR22 for DUI conviction. Your current car insurance provider may cancel your policy and every other car insurance provider may say there’s no room at the inn for you. If that happens, you’ll have to get insured through the Pennsylvania assigned-risk pool, which is even more expensive.
Paying for an SR22 for DUI is no walk in the park, but it isn’t impossible either. If you look up car insurance discounts, compare rates, and keep your record clean, then you can save money and possibly look forward to cheaper car insurance rates in the future.
