SUSPENDED!!!
The Illinois Vehicle Code provides for enhanced punishment for a person who violates §11-501 while his or her driving privileges are suspended or revoked for violation of §11-501, §11-501.1, or §11-401. 625 ILCS 5/11-501(d)(1)(G). A person convicted under this section is guilty of a Class 4 felony.
In Illinois, an individual's driver's license can be suspended for a number of reasons, ranging widely in degree of severity, and punishment. One of the most serious types of suspended license charges stems from an alcohol related suspension, such as DUI/DWI. There are also more typical types of suspensions, arising from failure to appear in court, etc. A related charge could be driving without having ever been issued a driver's license. A less onerous charge is simply driving while not having one's driver's license in their possession.
