Quick question for the LEO's here:
My PA driver's license expired on Jan. 31st of this year. I did not realize this until maybe a week ago (long story short: PennDOT is supposed to send me a "Invitation for Renewal" 3 months prior to my license expiring, but they never did, so I completely forgot about my license expiring). The second I realized my license was expired, I went online and printed out the form, wrote a check and sent in the form that day. I'm supposed to be leaving for a roadtrip from PA to FL this Sunday (March 1st). There is a possibility that I will not get the camera card in the mail from PennDOT before Saturday (which is the last day I can get my license renewed before I leave), what kind of consequences will I be looking at if I do happen to make the drive from PA to FL and happen to get pulled over with an expired license? My only concern is that the PD will not let me continue to drive on an expired D/L if I get pulled over. Is it just a simple ticket and you're on your way, or do they tow/make somebody drive the vehicle?
And no, nobody can drive the vehicle for me. It will be my g/f and I and the car is stick, and she can't drive stick.
Thanks!
