The punishment ranges from a simple 250 NIS fine (if it has only been a few months since the expiration of the license) to larger fines and a requirement to retake a driver\u2019s test (if it has been a couple years since the expiration date).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><b>Driving a Vehicle with an Incorrect License<\/b><\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have been caught driving a vehicle with the <a href=\"https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/en\/driving-without-the-correct-type-of-license-in-israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">incorrect license<\/a> (e.g. driving a truck when you are only licensed to drive a private vehicle), the punishment is more severe since it is considered a greater risk to public safety and often includes the suspension of one\u2019s license for a certain period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><b>Driving after a License Suspension or Without a License<\/b><\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most severe violation is driving a vehicle when one\u2019s license has been <a href=\"https:\/\/script_transfer_new.mowfns.ap-southeast-2.wpstaqhosting.com\/en\/suspension-of-drivers-licence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">suspended by the courts<\/a> or without ever having been issued a license at all. Driving with a suspended license or with no license can result in a permanent revocation of one\u2019s driver\u2019s license and up to three years in prison, though this is usually reserved for repeated offenders. Punishments will also be particularly severe if you were found to violate other traffic laws while driving or if you were involved in a traffic accident.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><b>Why You Should Hire a Lawyer<\/b><\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have been caught driving without a proper driver\u2019s license, it is highly advisable that you contact an experienced traffic lawyer in Israel who can provide you with counsel and represent your case in court.
