You are playing with fire. A typical scenario would be for you to be pulled over for a minor traffic infraction in your new home state. The officer calls in a license check then comes back to you with a surprise. You will be told that Florida suspended your privelige to drive and because of the States Drivers License Compact, your license in your new state is suspended. For this you receive a ticket with a hefty fine. The officer also lets you know that you cannot continue your journey and that your vehicle is going to be impounded. Now you get to add the this to the costs of your ticket. And before you can restore your driving privelige, you will have to pay Florida the cost of your ticket, late fees and a license reinstatement fee. You can add the reinstatement fee in your new state too. Are you a gambing man?
