I'm really not supposed to drive on my suspended license, but nobody can afford an uber every time so sometimes I still do. When I do I'm scared of getting caught. I see cops and get nervous.
My problem is I have habitual offender status and have been cited or charged with operating while suspended 4 times (once was a ticket and 3 were with arrests). My 4th was charged as driving suspended after habitual offender status. The reason I'm nervous is that if I got a second one of those it would be charged like this:
"B. A person is guilty of a Class C crime if the person violates subsection 1 (operating after suspension for habitual offender) and:
(1) The person has one conviction for operating after revocation under this section or under former Title 29, section 2298 within the previous 10 years;
OR
(2) The person has one OUI conviction within the previous 10 years.
The minimum fine for a Class C crime under this paragraph is $1,000 and the minimum term of imprisonment is 6 months, neither of which may be suspended by the court. "
I fit bullet one since I've operated suspended after being a habitual offender once, so I would meet the requirements for the minimum which is 6 months of imprisonment.
I'm scared of going to jail for that long. Every time I see a cop I know that if he pulls me over I will be in big trouble. As I'm leaning against my car getting handcuffed I will be knowing I will have to be imprisoned for at least 6 months (and that's minimum).
If you think I've learned my lesson, know that at least once a week I commit a crime that would jail me for a MINIMUM of 6 months.
