Answers To Frequently Asked Questions
Below, we go over some common questions related to driving on a suspended/revoked license charges and license suspensions.
Is driving on a suspended license always a misdemeanor in Arkansas?
Yes, it is solely a misdemeanor offense under Arkansas law. The law does not have provisions to elevate it to a felony.
Can I get a restricted driving permit if my license is suspended?
After a license suspension, you might be eligible for a restricted driving permit in Arkansas. Such a permit allows driving for certain limited purposes, such as work or medical appointments. Your eligibility for pursuing such a permit depends on the type of suspension. We can help you understand your options for being able to get back on the road in a way that wouldn’t expose you to driving while suspended/revoked charges are in place. We can also guide you through how to get your driver’s license reinstated in Arkansas once your suspension is finished.
Can my Arkansas license be suspended for offenses from another state?
Yes, Arkansas can suspend your license for offenses committed out of state that would be eligible for suspension if committed in-state. Arkansas participates in the Driver License Compact, which is a group of states that share information with each other related to traffic offenses in order to allow for consistent cross-border enforcement. So, the underlying suspension in a driving while revoked/suspended case could potentially come as a result of out-of-state traffic violations.
