Driving After Cancellation Charge

Minnesota Statute 171.24, subdivision 5, covers this type of driving offense.

The law applies when a person’s driving privilege was canceled or denied under a specified state provision.

The driver must have received notice or reasonably should know about the cancellation or denial.

The law prohibits that person from driving a vehicle requiring a driver’s license.

A violation of subdivision 5 is classified as a gross misdemeanor.
