Driving while suspended is perhaps one of
the most common and serious charges in the municipal court system. The violation of
driving while suspended is set forth in N.J.S.A. 39:3-40. This statute
provides that, “no person to whom a driver’s license has been refused or whose
driver’s license or reciprocity privilege has been suspended or revoked or who
has been suspended or revoked or who has been prohibited from obtaining a
driver’s license, shall personally operate a motor vehicle during the period of
refusal suspension, revocation, or prohibition.” A person who is convicted of
driving while suspended or on the revoked listing may also receive some stiff
penalties.
A
driver is placed on the revoked list by two diferent tracks. First a Municipal Court Judge can Issue a suspension order that suspends the driver's license. Second, the MVS can take administrative action and suspend a person's drivers license.
