Legal Question in Traffic Law in Ohio
drivers license suspended--4510.16 violation
My drivers license is currently suspended d/t a dui, i have registration privileges. In addition I have on file with the state my sr-22 bond and liablity insurance. I was a passenger in my vehicle and the police ran my plates to discover my suspension. I wasn't the driver, however a current licensed driver was and I was given a ticket for orc 4510.16. I had my car impounded and given a court date. The officer stated that while under suspension I wasn't able to even have someone else drive my vehicle. I belive the officer was hoping that I was driving when in actuality I wasn't and had to get me on something, I have been to the BMV several times not once did they explain to me that I was unable to have someone else drive my car while on suspension. I belive this to be a bogus ticket and need help fighting this if indeed to be the case. Am I held liable for this ticket when under a FRA suspension?
