Driving while suspended (16-303) citations are charged in the District Court of Maryland and that is where you will have to appear to answer the charges of driving while suspended. Driving on suspended licence charges in Maryland as classified as misdemeanors. As an attorney that appears in the District and Circuit Court on a daily basis, I would bet I handle at least 2-4 driving while suspended cases a week in the District Courts for Maryland. Most of the case that we see result in drivers that are pulled over while they are suspended for failing to appear for a trial date on a much less serious traffic offense. In 2011, the Maryland legislature change the requirement for all "payable" traffic citations in Maryland. Before January 2011, if you received a traffic ticket and the maximum penalty was a fine, then you would receive a Court date in the mail about 4-6 weeks after the traffic stop. Now, if you are charged with a "payable" ticket, then you have to request either a waiver or trial date within 30 days or you have to pay the ticket within that 30 days after the stop. What most people do is they place the ticket in their glove compartment and forget about the ticket. After that 30 day period the MVA notifies the Court and the Court then tells the MVA that you have failed to take action on the ticket. The Court then orders the MVA to suspend your license until you pay the ticket. This inaction by drivers leads to most of the cases of driving on a suspended license. If you fail to pay that fine and you are pulled over then the police will charge with you Transportation Article 16-303(h). If you are charged with 16-303(h) then you are facing a maximum penalty of 60 days and $500.00 fine or both.
