If you are charged with driving without insurance as well as driving without a valid license, your vehicle will be impounded by police. If you are convicted of driving with a suspended license, the Illinois Secretary of State (SOS) will usually extend your suspension by the same length of time as the original suspension.

Under certain circumstances, the charge of driving without a valid license can be upgraded to a Class 4 Felony that is punishable by fines up to $25,000 and one to three years in jail. Generally, these charges will apply if you are accused of committing a second or subsequent violation and you are determine to be at fault for a car accident that resulted in someone else's injury or death.
