What is a Revoked Driver's License?
Answer:
Driver licensing laws vary by state or other
jurisdictional region, and, as such, the legal definition for the term revoked driver's license may vary as well.

The term revoke means to cancel, nullify, repeal, rescind, etc.  Thus, a revoked driver's license is a driver's license which has been legally cancelled, and the driver may no longer operate motor vehicles on public roadways.  When a license is revoked, there may be a prescribed waiting period and drivers may be ordered to participate in specific programs or driving courses before they are allowed to apply for reinstatement.

Driver's licenses may be revoked for a variety of legal infractions, including excessive license points, DUI convictions, leaving the scene of an accident, and others.  Normally, when a jurisdiction revokes a driver's license, the driver must re-apply for a new license after first waiting the prescribed time period and verifying compliance with prescribed penalties or program participation in order to qualify for license reinstatement consideration.

In most cases, if a driver is caught operating a motor vehicle while their license is in revocation, they face far more serious penalties and consequences, depending on the violation and the jurisdiction.
