2. Failure to pay court fines/costs - If you fail to pay court fines and costs within ten days of your court date, your
    license to drive will be automatically suspended by the court and DMV. You can request that the court clerk give you
    more than 10 days to pay the fines and court costs. If you do not pay fines and costs in full by the date set by the
    clerk, your license to drive will be suspended.

3. DMV demerit points - Your license will be automatically suspended by the DMV if you accumulate too many demerit
    points on your driving record within a specified period of time, or if you accumulate demerit points while on probation.
    The only way to avoid this suspension is to attend driving school and/or accumulate positive DMV points. You
    accumulate five positive points for attending driving school and one positive DMV point for every year you drive
    without any traffic convictions.

4. Civil judgment from auto accident - You can also have your driver's license suspended if someone has a civil
    judgment against you for damages arising from an automobile accident. The only way to have you license reinstated is
    to pay the judgment in full or have the judgment marked satisfied by the judgment holder.

Punishment for driving on suspended charge: If the judge finds you guilty of driving on a suspended license and the violation is your first offense, you are guilty of a class 2 misdemeanor. The punishment for a class 2 misdemeanor is up to six months in jail and/or up to a $1000 fine. If this is your second or subsequent offense, you are guilty of a class 1 misdemeanor. The punishment for a class 1 misdemeanor is up to 12 months in jail and/or up to a $2500 fine. Also, for any conviction, the judge shall suspended your license further for the same period for which it had been previously suspended or revoked when you violated the law by driving on the suspended or revoked license. more>>
