Ultimately you could lose your license and never get to drive again. It's not worth it.

If it were up to me it would be death for being so stupid.
The fact your liscense was revoked indicates your lack of respect for the laws of the state AND probably disregard for the safety of others as well.
That you were stopped AND arrested tells me you weren't driving in a safe manner or you wouldn't have been stopped. You were arrested means you were probably beligerant with the officer in addition to driving without a liscense.
What part of 'your liscense is revoked' didn't you understand? The judge didn't say suspended. He said REVOKED. That meant you lost the privilidge to drive a motor vehicle. But you did it anyway! What do you think? That the rules don't apply to YOU? Are you someone special? There are people all over the country who have lost someone they cared about because of people like you. Instead of wondering what the punishment is. Think about what it should be.

Depends on each US State law. Here in NC in addition to criminal penalties that the court might mandate, conviction of certain traffic offenses will result in the loss of your driving privilege. Also, punishment might depend on what 'other' traffic violations you have had (severity of previous). Monetary fine. Suspended jail sentence OR jail time. It might affect your ability to work (if, for exampe, your job requires a driver's license and yours is revoked permanently -which is possible - then you might be fired from your job because you are unable to perform your duties....)

Here's your answer, from the Iowa DMV:
Driving while your license is suspended is a misdemeanor. A conviction may result in a $1,500 fine and up to one year in jail if you are convicted of a serious misdemeanor. The length of your suspension or revocation for some convictions may also be doubled if you are convicted of driving while your license is suspended. A work permit cannot be issued when you have been convicted of driving while your license was suspended. You could also be barred from driving (under the provisions of Iowa Code Section 321.555) if you are convicted for driving while under suspension. (Iowa Code Section 321.218 and 321A.32 Subsection 1)

It would depend on which state the offense occurred. Traffic laws are determined by states. Check with your attorney.

depending on your state, it's jail time, or a steep fine. my dad drove while his was revoked, his lawyer was able to hord off jail time for a 2500 dollar fine. (in Illinois)

If you haven't been to court yet, you will soon find out, did not learn the first time huh? I hope that is what the judge says.
