What are the consequences of being declared HMVO?
Once you are declared an HMVO, your driving privileges are automatically revoked and you cannot drive while the court order remains in effect. Therefore, you must file a petition with the court to have your privileges reinstated. Such petition cannot be filed for a minimum of three years. You should contact an experienced attorney for assistance in getting your driving privileges reinstated. If you found guilty of driving while your privileges are revoked under the HMVO Act, such violation is punishable as a Class E felony, which is punishable by 1 to 6 years imprisonment and a fine of up to $3,000.00.
