What is driving under FRA suspension?
I recently had a friend tell me he couldn’t give me a ride because he had an FRA driver’s license suspension. What’s is that and what happens if you drive with one?

We’re sorry to hear about your friend’s problem—having your license suspended can be a major inconvenience. An FRA suspension is caused by a lack of financial responsibility. Essentially, it’s a punishment for driving without car insurance, which is something almost every state requires you to buy if you want to drive.
Once your driver’s
license is suspended
, you generally have to pay a fine and prove that you’ve purchased car insurance to drive again. If you choose to drive while your license is suspended due to a lack of financial responsibility, you’ll face:- A misdemeanor charge
- An extension of your suspension
- Fine up to $1,000
- Points added to your license
It’s also possible that your state will choose to immobilize your car to prevent you from driving again.
As if the fines aren’t enough, it’s also very likely you’ll have to deal with increased rates for your
poor decision
