Driving without ever obtaining a licence:<\/strong> This is considered a separate offence. The consequences are a fine and possibly a ban from obtaining a driving licence for a certain period of time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Driving with an expired licence:<\/strong> An expired driving licence is technically invalid. Depending on the circumstances, it may result in a fine or a new driving ban.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Driving during a driving ban:<\/strong> This is the most severe situation. The penalty can be another heavy fine, an extended driving ban and even jail time.<\/p>\n<h3>Possible punishments<\/h3>\n<p>For driving without a valid licence, you risk a fine of at least 1,600 euros x 8 opcents, a new driving ban, and for repeated offences or driving while under a current driving ban, a prison sentence.<\/p>\n<h3>Our defence<\/h3>\n<p>Novex Advocaten analyses the circumstances of the case and establishes the most appropriate defence strategy.
