Louisiana
, driving without a valid license could result in a misdemeanor charge. Not having a valid license includes people who have never had a license or failed to renew an expired one. If charged and convicted, you face up to six months in jail and a maximum fine of $500.
If you’re in an accident and have legal
car insurance
in the state, you can still recover damages unless you’re the driver at fault.”View full answer
