Wow. You are far too young to have that kind of driving record. I suggest you do right by the law and not drive while your license is revoked. If you do, you are begging for yet another violation. Just follow the rules and shape up. Clearly, it is time to start being smarter about the decisions you make.

For one thing, fight the tickets
Another thing, when fighting them, if its excessive points that is messing you up at this point, see if they can give you a restricted licensing so you can at least drive the car to and from work between certain hours of the day.
Oh, and slow the fock down!

You got your license taken away for a reason. Driving with a revoked license is even more illegal then your speeding tickets.
Pick up a used 50cc scooter or something. They usually do not require a license for operation. Sell it in the summer after your 6 months is up.
Otherwise, take a cab or carpool. You fucked up, now deal with the consequences the right way. Fucking youth of America today

Would you drive with a revoked license? My license is getting revoked for atleast 6months because 3 speeding tickets(82/55, 73/55, 38/35...dont even get me started on that speeding ticket).
With my job I know alot of cops, i do security at a club. I have been pulled over 3 times by them on my way home, 2x i knew them, the other time i said where i worked and he let me go after just looking at my license. Im just alittle nervous about it because if i get caught this will be my 2nd offense of driving with a suspend/revoked. The first time i was charged with a misdemeanor(3rd degree), but it was reduced to a simple violation. 2nd time is a misdemeanor(2nd degree) also, and i doubt i will get it reduced to a violation again.
Would you chance it under these circumstances:
Drive to work: 8 minutes one way
Never drive drunk
Friendly with majority of cops(since i work at the front door and deal with them regularly, some of them even bring me coffee.
Dont speed or run red lights, but i have no front plate and tinted windows

You been pulled over already for driving with a suspended license?
Man you got lucky that time, i wouldnt chance it again!! I dont get how you got 3 tickets if you "know so many cops". Do you know the local cops only and got tickets by state police?
Buy a friend at work to drive you.
I used to drive on a suspended license too. This was many years ago though and i did it carefully. Funny thing is that i drove cautiously for 3 months, dead stop at every sign and red lights, used all my turn signals, followed all the laws to the "T". Then I got my license back and still drove that way since i was used to it.Some good came out of it i guess.
Not saying that was a good reason to do it. Just dont come back bitching if you get pulled over AGAIN and have your license suspended even longer.

Not allowed to get a restricted use license because you are allowed 1 every 3 years and i had to get one 2 summers ago because my job was far away. Like others said Long Island public transportation sucks. I pretty much fucked my self driving wise a year-2 years ago. lol I would never come back on here saying f the police because they got a job to do and its not their fault I fucked up, its mine. The hardest part is getting to work, i can get a ride home very easily. I'm not going to drive. I can't fight the tickets because they are already done with. And the last ticket I got part of the plea deal states, I can not appeal this ruling. Six months really isnt that long of a time. Oh well we will see

If you know a lot of cops then they must know you have a revoked license. They also would know what you look like and what car you drive.
You been pulled over already for driving with a suspended license? Man you got lucky that time, i wouldnt chance it again!!

I know the cops because they always stop by at work, they do not know what car i drive. I know Suffolk county police, and I was caught in Nassau county. I do have a few PBA cards but some cops just dont care about them. When i got caught driving with a suspended, it was crazy, no pba card in the world would of helped me, i showed them to the guy and he just threw them. That cop must of had a shitty day cause he took it all out on me, and he damaged my door on my truck. I do not plan on bitching if i get caught, I just wanted peoples opinions and to see if anyone did it before.

Or maybe cops are tired of people like you who don't learn from the first time...or second....and continue to repeat the same irresponsible behaviour with the same lame excuses.
Why does it matter what anyone else has done? If you really wanted to take responsibility for yourself and your actions, you'd already know what you need to do. The fact that you even question what you should do shows you still haven't learned and just don't "get it."
EDIT: Crazy beat me to it.

no see, heres the short version of that stop:
approached me in car when gun drawn, 4 cop cars surrounding me. i was accused of vandalizing a house, which is complete bullshit. slammed my car doors repeatedly when i wouldnt tell him i vandalized property because i didnt. threw me up against my own car repeatedly. and then thats it. he let me go without arresting me because he found the pba cards in my wallet when he searched threw it, and he technically assaulted me and damaged my property.

I'm not going to flame you but try to give you some wisdom from the experience that comes with time.
It is NOT worth it - trust me, I know. Everyday, you'll get more and more paranoid; always worried that something will go wrong - pulled over, fender bender, whatever.
Don't do it. You WILL get caught (sooner or later). Everytime you get caught, the hole gets deeper.
Here is what you need to do:
- Find a new lawyer. One that will work with you and the court;
- Get your shit together; pay unpaid tickets, etc;
- Have the lawyer work with you to clean up the mess you've made and try to get either driving privledges to/from work OR a re-instatement of your license or a probationary re-instatement;
- Straighten up and drive right.
Yes, it'll cost more than you want/can afford to pay. That's the price for F'ng up and learning a lesson. A *good* lawyer will work with you to get you back on track AND work out a payment plan with you.
NOW is the time; you know what's right and what's wrong. Do the right thing and get your act together.

and my vote goes toward not driving
and maybe you can put up an ad on craigslist saying you need a ride from A to B and see if anyone goes that way at the same time

driving on revoked = ass rape by insurance company when you get reinstated........
They will
Tow your car
Take you to jail
and then you will have to pay the big ass fees that go with that.........
lol but since OP has no common sense, let him get ass raped.......

Princelybug?
Are you serious?
You would DRIVE to work with a suspended license?
Aren't the 10 Commandments your Avatar?
Wouldn't BREAKING THE LAW violate at least one of those 10 Commandments?
WOW! I didn't expect the "Religious One" to reccommend violating the law.
Impressive Testimony.

i very highly doubt the traffic court system overrides the DMV
^^^I don't know how it works exactly, whether it's the DMV or the courts, or a combination of both, but I'm pretty sure that you can get work>home, home>work driving privileges somehow.

usually u can, but i had a restricted use license already. and the dmv revoked it, not the court system
if youre being punished it means you have something to learn. why skip out on your lesson and risk a more severe penalty? take the bus. pay the taxi. 16 bucks a day is part of your penalty. Man up to it and accept your responsibility.

my daughter had her license suspended in NJ for 6 months-She could not get a restricted license in Jersey (they are no longer given out) She works about 6 miles-she has walked there, rode a bike or received rides from co-workers. I am sure you can find a way if you really tried. DO NOT DRIVE

Also, I don't know how it works in NY but I don't know that your insurance is going to cover you if you are driving illegally........If you get into a major accident, you will be paying for it for the rest of your life. Don't ruin your whole life because of your immaturity now.
Having a valid license is a condition for being insured. If you have an accident your insurance company won't pay off a dime and you will be on the hook for the whole thing; damages to both cars, medical, etc.. And the state will likely have something to say to you.
It's a PIA but be smart and walk.

I'm from Pennsylvania and got a first offense DUI. I'll be losing my license for 60 days. It will be tempting to drive during that time, being as I'm 8 miles from work and live in a small town with no public transportation. However, get caught and it's 60 to 90 days in jail, an additional 1 year suspension, and get ARD revoked, which means get prosecuted for the DUI which would mean 72 hours to 6 months in jail and a 1 year license suspension. Basically I'd be fucked, so I'll be riding bike. I'm not sure how New York laws work, but there's plenty of public transportation in and around New York City. You guys say Long Island sucks for that, so I have no idea, but might as well make it easier on yourself and obey all laws. I know I fucked up once and I ain't fucking up again.

i knew a few guys in college that got DUIs and still needed to get to school/work
they bought scooters/ those mini 49cc motorbikes where they don't count as a motor vehicle. Not sure if they have the same laws in NY, but could be an option if work isn't TOO far.

go to the judge let them know that ur only means of transportation to your job and for ur elderly(enter relative), to see if u can get it restricted, if u cant do that, nassau county jail, and suffolk county jail will def have some nice warm beds for u. count your blessings that you got out of/avoided other tickets because u knew the officers. u wont always be that lucky so i wouldnt press my luck.
