There are many reasons for the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to suspend someone's driver's license. Some of the offenses include, but are not limited to a gas drive-off, non-payment of child support, non-payment of a traffic ticket and non-payment of vehicle insurance.

If you are used to driving yourself around everywhere, not having a license becomes a problem. You have to rely on others for trips to the grocery, to court, to the sitter's, to drop the kids off at school and whatever else you do during the course of a week - or you can risk driving without a license. If you get caught driving without a license, you are automatically assessed an additional 90 days of suspension.

Having numerous infractions can also get your license revoked. For each ticket you get, you incur points. Once the points add up to a certain amount, you may have your license revoked. If you have 12 points in a 12-month period, you will receive a 30-day suspension. 18 points in an 18-month period results in a three-month suspension. 24 points in a 36-month period results in a 12-month suspension. See dmv.org.

Some license offenses include:

1. Knowingly using a canceled, revoked, suspended or otherwise disqualified driver's license (F.S. §322.32);
2. Lending your license to someone else;
3. Using and representing that a license not issued to you is your own
4. Refusing to surrender your suspended driver's license upon demand of the DMV or any law enforcement officer; and
5. Having or applying for a license in two different names.

Licenses may be revoked under F.S. §322.27 for:

1. Being convicted of a violation of any traffic law which results in a crash that causes death or personal injury to another or property damage in excess of $500;
2. Being incompetent to drive a motor vehicle;
3. Allowing unlawful or fraudulent use of your license, obtaining a license by fraud or misrepresentation, or representing a license not issued to you as your own;
4. Committing an offense in another state which if committed in Florida would be grounds for suspension or revocation;
5. Committing a second or subsequent violation of §316.172(1) - not stopping for a school bus;
6. Being convicted of a felony for the possession of a controlled substance, if the person was driving or in physical control of a motor vehicle at the time of possession.
