On the other hand, a “revocation” means a termination of the privilege to drive as explained in Section 322.01(36), F.S. What is the difference between a suspension and a revocation? A suspension means the temporary withdrawal of the privilege to drive as explained in Section 322.01(40), F.S. The crime is charged as a second-degree misdemeanor for a first offense or a first-degree misdemeanor for a second conviction.
If you drive on a revoked or suspended driver’s license, then you can be arrested for the crime of Driving While License Suspended or Revoked (DWLSR). The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) can revoke or suspend a driver’s license or driving privilege for several driving-related and non-driving-related reasons.
