Driving After Forfeiture of License (18.2-272) - Fairfax City

Driving After Forfeiture of License (18.2-272). Reduced to Driving on a Suspended License (46.2-301). Disposition: 30 day loss of license and $200 fine. No jail time.

Of all the Driving Suspended/Revoked statutes, 18.2-272 "272" is probably the most serious because it mandates a loss of license for one year (no restricted license allowed). People who are charged with a 272 violation have had their license suspended/revoked due to being previously found guilty of a DUI, Refusal, or some other alcohol related crime. The 272 violation occurs when, during that year that they are revoked/suspended, they are caught driving or caught driving outside their permissible restrictions.
