Arraignment

At the first court appearance, the arraignment, the person issued the Florida Uniform Traffic Citation will be required to enter a plea to the Driving Without A Valid Driver License charge.  The options are not guilty, guilty or nolo contendere(no contest).  If the person enters a plea of not guilty they will be given another court date and the judge will ask the person if they are hiring a lawyer or representing themselves.  If the person pleads guilty or no contest then the judge will impose a sentence.  Since this is a criminal charge a plea of guilty or no contest will remain on your record for the rest of your life.  Driving Without A Valid Driver License is a second degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 60 days in jail, up to 6 months on probation and up to a $500 fine.  The judge can also include in the sentence driving classes, community service, cost of investigation, cost of prosecution and court cost.
