What is the penality for driving without a license in the state of Kentucky?
Find answers to your legal question.

I recently received a citation for driving without a driver's license in the state of Kentucky; I am 19 and only have a driver's permit. I was given a court date and must appear in court. I was wondering if anyone knew what the typical sentencing for such an offense is? Will it just be a fine? In case it matters, I have an extremely clean record, am a full-time student, and have great grades.

This is all that I could fine and I hope that it helps you......

The penalties section in Kentucky law notes that a person who violates any of the provisions of KRS 186.400 to 186.640 shall be guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.

So driving without a license in KY is a Class B misdemeanor. It is also a Class B misdemeanor for the person allowing you to drive their car knowing that you are not licensed and thus he or she could also be cited and penalized for letting an unlicensed driver operate their vehicle. A Class B misdemeanor in KY can come with up to 90 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $250.

At 17 one is still a minor and a serious offense such as driving without a license may cause a delay in you being able to obtain your driver's license.
