Severe Penalties for Driving Under Suspension

Aggravated unlicensed operation (AUO; also known as driving under suspension) of a motor vehicle is a criminal offense that can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the basis for the suspension or the severity of the underlying offense that resulted in it.
