A driver’s license in Florida is considered a privilege, and one that can be taken away if a resident breaks the law. When a driver’s license is suspended, and the driver decides to get behind the wheel anyway, it quickly escalated from a normal traffic ticket, to a criminal offense. While a speeding ticket may just cost money, driving with a suspended license can result in arrest and possible jail time.
