Legal Question in Traffic Law in Colorado

Re: driving under suspended lisence

Hello. (Note: For the purposes of this answer, I am assuming your husband's license was suspended for a reason other than a DUI/DWAI/Expressed Consent refusal reason. I assume this because of the information provided in your question. If it turns out that your husband's license was suspended because of a DUI/DWAI/Expressed consent refusal, this answer does not apply and the answer to the question becomes a lot more complicated).

The penalty for driving under suspension is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for not less than 5 days nor more than 6 months and a discretionary fine of $50 to $500. The minimum sentence (5 days) cannot be suspended by the court, so if your husband is found guilty or pleads guilty, he will be sentenced to at least 5 days. Because he has a previous conviction with a sentence of 10 days, the judge may give a sentence of 10 days or longer. The maximum sentence that a judge can give for driving under suspension is 6 months.

Additionally, upon the second conviction of driving under suspension, your husband's license may be suspended for an additional period of 3 years.

I hope that this information helps you. David Colt
