Driving on a suspended license is at least a Class “A” misdemeanor, (in some situations it may be a felony with possible prison time). It is different from an ordinary traffic ticket. Tickets such as speeding, disobeying a stop sign or stop light, or failing to signal are referred to as petty offenses. These are not criminal matters, and can be punished generally only by a fine.
