My husband was driving on the 85 going 76 in a 60 mph zone. The state trooper gave him a court appearance date in May. What is the maximum penalty for speeding with a permit/no license?

You must be from California.

The bigger hit will probably be on your insurance premium. According to the DOI booklet, it will be at least 4 points and an 80% premium increase.

What happened to his license? He has never had one? It fell out of his wallet and doesn't know where it is? Its been revoked due to previous driving convictions?

I think OP is from NY?

I know it's acceptable to drive 15mph over the speed limit in the North East but that doesn't fly down here. Expect points on your license, increase in insurance premiums and a fine.

You can get away with 8mph over at the very most in NC.

The OP said he had a permit but not a license.

Max penalty is 120 days in jail but I doubt he gets any time as long as he doesn't have a DWI. A decent lawyer should be able to get a prayer for judgement & he will have to pay a pretty good fine.

Yes. Although obviously it isn't limited to teenagers.

I never heard of an adult having to have a learner's permit. Though I confess to not having read the "how to get a license as an adult if you've never had one" instructions.

Is this an out-of-state license?

Was he driving with a licensed driver at the time? Because if he wasn't, I think that's the same as driving without a license.
