Nope, no tension, not suspended. I was in my pajamas and had to go get my girlfriend, just forgot to grab my wallet. I was running about 10 over and the officer didn't write me for speeding. All in all nice guy. I thought it was a fix-it ticket so I asked the officer and he said that he wasn't sure, but if the prosecutor was willing to do that then he was perfectly fine with it.
Does anyone know off of the top of their head what the penalty is? Long story short, I left home, got pulled over, forgot my wallet, got a ticket for driving without a license. Anyone know the penalty?
Try looking at "no license in possession". I don't have the IC handy but it is far different than "never received". It requires that you have your license on you while you drive. Never received, you go to jail. It's a simple infraction, fine and costs. Many times I given tickets for driving while suspended. During the time before court the offender gets a license. The prosecutor ammends the charge to "no license in possession".
9-24-1-1. Most prosecutors/courts drop the ticket if the DL is presented.
What county?

That's what I'm worried about. I've never had to wear the dunce cap and I'm afraid it'll mess up my hair.I'm glad you were able to clarify that. I was under the impression they had changed the penalty to a public flogging and forcing you to wear a dunce cap for a week. It was either that or a fine.

Thank you, sir. I didn't see that when I looked it up last night. I did tell the officer that I had one and gave him my DLN. It was just complete complacency on my part. Headed down the street to get someone, don't check the pockets to make sure I have it and BAM! forgot it.NO PENALTY!

Ours don't. Remember where the "courts costs" go to.
