It depends on the state, but most states punish driving without a license or driving on a suspended license with heavy fines, some jail time, and further license suspension. Most states graduate the punishment, so a third offense will receive a much harsher punishment than the second. At some point, the repeat offense becomes a felony in most states.

What is the worst that could happen for an unpaid speeding ticket in Minnesota?

The worst that could happen is that your license would be suspended, you'd be pulled over or involved in an accident and then ordered to appear in court for driving on a suspended license. Depending on the judge, you could end up with high court fines or a revoked license. If you get caught driving on a revoked license, you get to go to jail. Pay the ticket. After failing to appear or respond to the ticket, the Court can and sooner or later will order a bench warrent for your arrest - for failure to respond. That is a criminal matter, punishable by additional fines (on top of the growing one for the ticket itself) and even jail time. Agreeably they normally don't go around busting your door down to enforce the warrent, but any time your being checked for anything, (job checks too), it will appear. So, if your pulled over for speeding, driving without a taillight, suspecious whatever, even just run through as a passenger in a vehicle or such, the warrent will appear and it's straight to jail to wait for a court appearance to answer it. (Understand that considering your warrent is for failure to appear at court, it is very unlikely they would then allow you to walk away with a promise you will now do so). Please consider, the idea of ignoring a ticket is not novel or original. The system is very preapred to respond to it and does so with the added offense that your disrespecting it's authority...your making it personal!

Should you pay a speeding ticket for going 80 in a 65 mph zone in Ohio if you have a New Jersey driver's license only if it is not going to affect your insurance?

Moral obligation to do the right thing aside, the history of the ticket will appear on your driving record, regardless of what state license you hold and where you got the ticket. When you don't pay it, it will be reflected on your driving record and eventually your license will be supended. When your license is supended, your insurance will drop you, which is much worse than your rates going up. Someone out there loves you or the person you endager - drive safely.

What is the consequence for driving without a valid drivers license in Florida?

It varies, and it varies as to what the reason for not having a license is. If the driver is under age, you can end up in court explaining to the judge why you were driving without a license. You could be cited (even though you don't have a license) and have the citation "attached" to your record so it appears when you do get a license - if you go get one. If you are cited or appear in court, you can or will be fined, depending on the circumstances. If you simply don't have it with you, you can get a warning or a citation. The officer will check his computer to see if you have a record of having a license. If you have a license, you are required to have it with you when you drive. If your license is expired but you don't have a record, you may be cited or warned to go get it renewed. Either one. And it could cost you some money. You probably won't have to appear in court, but you may. If the license is suspended or revoked, you can (and probably will) be cited, and you may be made to appear. You probably will have to see the judge. Citations have to be paid, and they go on your driving record. Court appearances may or may not cost you money, and may or may not result in other penalties. But they usually do. If you are waiting for a certain period to pass before you can start driving on a suspended license (waiting for the supspension to pass), your waiting time could be extended. Or your license could be revoked. If your license was revoked and you are driving anyway, you can (and probably will) be fined, and you can even be held in detention (jail for adults, juvenile center for "kids"). Good luck in any case.


What happens to the driver who caused and accident with no license?

Answer from Stageismylife123: they get sent to jailAnswer from Keevamonster: It depends on the severity of the accident, the state it happened in, and the age of the person who was driving without a license. Generally, the person would be cited for the offense, have to appear in court, and could be blocked from getting a license for a certain length of time. Anyone driving without a license also opens themselves up to being sued by the other parties involved in the accident. With no insurance to protect them or pay out any damages, they could wind up owing a lot of money.
