Driving Without A License Is A Very Common Charge in Rockville.
There are many reasons my clients choose to drive without a license. Some clients are not aware that their privilege to drive is not valid and others simply need to get to work.
At the Law Offices of David R. Waranch, we help everyday drivers deal with traffic charges quickly and effectively — keeping points off your record, reducing fines, and avoiding the stress of court whenever possible.
What Does “Driving Without a License” Mean in Maryland?
Under Maryland law, it’s illegal to drive a motor vehicle without a valid license issued by the MVA.
You can be charged if you:
- Never had a license in any state
- Let your license expire and kept driving (after a certain period the MVA deletes the privilege altogether).
- Recently moved to Maryland and haven’t switched your out-of-state license yet
Even a first offense can carry fines up to $500 and possible jail time, depending on the circumstances. Judges and prosecutors take this charge seriously — especially if it’s not your first one.
