Is driving with a suspended driver’s license ever considered a 3rd degree felony?
Yes – a person who drove despite a suspended license and caused an accident resulting in death or serious injury may be charged with a felony. Habitual traffic offenders including those facing repeat DWLSR charges (Driving with a License Suspension or Revocation) can also be charged with a 3rd degree felony offense. This is a very serious crime punishable by a maximum prison sentence of 5 years and/or a maximum fine of $5,000.
