In the Michigan Vehicle Code, Section 257.904, it states that any person whose motor vehicle operator’s license has been suspended or revoked, and who has been notified of the suspension or revocation, cannot legally operate a motor vehicle on any road, highway, parking lot, or other area generally accessible to motor vehicles. Violating this statute can lead to jail time, fines, and lengthened or enhanced license restrictions.
It is important that anyone who has been accused of unlawfully operating a motor vehicle without a license contact an attorney right away, because the penalties for even a first offense are so severe.
