Driving without a valid license is often charged under Florida Statute Section 322.03 especially in cases in which the driver has never obtained a Florida driver's license. The offense is a second degree misdemeanor which is punishable with 6 months in jail and/or a five hundred dollar fine. The next time the driver is caught driving without a license the offense is usually charged as "driving while license suspended or revoked" with knowledge (DWLSR) with is also a second degree misdemeanor. The next offense can be charged as a first degree misdemeanor.

Three charges of DWLSR with in a five year period will result in a five year revocation of your driver's license as a habitual traffic offender. For this reason, many charges of DWLSR are negotiated down to "no valid" charges so that it does not trigger a HTO revocation.
