Question 9 in the bank

What is the penalty for driving whilst disqualified?

  1. A fine of 80,000 NIS
  2. 6 yrs in jail and 2 yrs on probation.
  3. None, if the driver presents a valid driver’s license within 7 days
  4. Correct answer: Up to 3 years in jail, plus other penalties.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Up to 3 years in jail, plus other penalties.

Driving while your driving licence is disqualified is a serious criminal offence, because the driver is driving without any permission to drive. So the penalty can reach up to three years in prison, and the court may add other penalties. Presenting a licence afterwards does not cancel the offence, because at the time of driving the driver had no permission to drive.
