What is the name of your state? Indiana
My co-worker is driving with his license suspended. He was pulled over a few months ago and the police office gave him a warning and told him to call for a ride.

He continues to drive, but doesn't think anything will happen except for another warning. If caught again can he be arrested...put in jail?:eek:What is the name of your state?

he got lucky the first time by being told to get a ride. He can be arrested, taken to jail and prosecuted as any criminal would be.

Tell your friend to turn on CNN and see what happened to Paris Hilton when she chose to drive on a suspended license.
