What are the risks of driving in West Virginia on a suspended license?

I'm 20 but had my license suspended for something called underage DUI. What happens if I keep driving and get caught?

“Violating the minor DUI laws in

can result in a misdemeanor conviction, which includes 24 hours in jail and a $50 to $500 fine.
The penalties increase with further violations. A second offense carries the potential of 30 days to six months in jail and a $100 to $500 fine. If you’re convicted of a third or subsequent offense, you could face a felony conviction, one to three years in prison, and a $1,000 to $5,000 fine.

rates have likely already been affected by your DUI, but you could see them further increase with each violation. Your policy could even be canceled if you’re deemed too risky to insure.”
