Frequently asked questions
How serious is driving while suspended in Kansas?
It's a class B nonperson misdemeanor with up to six months of jail exposure, and repeat convictions carry mandatory minimum jail time. It also tacks additional suspension onto your license. This is a criminal case, not a ticket to pay online.
Can I get restricted driving privileges in Kansas?
Kansas offers restricted licenses for certain suspension types — often allowing driving to work, school, and medical appointments. A licensed Kansas attorney can assess your eligibility while defending the underlying charge.
My suspension was for an unpaid ticket. Does that help?
Significantly. If the suspension stems from unpaid fines or a missed appearance, resolving the old case and reinstating often persuades the prosecutor to reduce or dismiss the new charge. Attorneys in our network coordinate both pieces.
What if I never got notice of the suspension?
Kansas must properly notify you before suspending, and proof-of-notice problems are a legitimate defense. An attorney can obtain your certified driving record and check whether the Division of Vehicles followed the required procedure.
