Driving with a suspended, revoked, or canceled license is illegal in Pennsylvania under 75 Pa. C.S.A. § 1543. This statute defines both the crime and the penalties you could face if caught driving without a license.
There are two types of offenses included in this statute, and they differ based on why your license suspension originally occurred. They include:
While driving under suspension or revocation is illegal in either case, Pennsylvania law takes alcohol- and drug-related traffic crimes seriously. You can expect to face more severe penalties if convicted of driving with a suspended license if your initial suspension stemmed from a DUI.
Pennsylvania has sentencing guidelines, but judges also have a lot of leeway. In general, you can expect the following to apply if convicted of driving under suspension:

Penalties depend on your history:
If you have previous violations on your record for driving with a suspended license, you will likely face increased penalties if convicted. This could include:
