im doing community service for driving while disqualified. i have been caught again . will i go to jail?

Question

this will be my third time caught disqauilfied, i have no criminal record.

Answer 1

30% of disqualified drivers continue to drive. Unlicensed (or, rarely, with a license from another state or country) and UNINSURED.

For that reason, recidivists are generally sent to jail at least briefly and sometimes for considerable time. Because statistically nothing else works.

The worst thing is when someone is hurt by such a person (and bearing in mind disqualification is most often for DUI; less signifricantly but also often for lack of a proper visa to be in the USA).

Either way, driving uninsured is a tragedy for innocent people who get hurt: kids riding their bikes who are crippled for life; people in other cars who don't benefit from uninsured motorist coverage, and so on.

But to answer your question: it all depends on what state you are in, and what the circumstances were under which you were caught. These things are fact-specific.

Answer 2

MADD has a Web page on that:

"Between 50 and 75 percent of those whose licenses are suspended or revoked as the result of driving under the influence continue to drive illegally without their license. (Nichols and Ross, 1990) (Voas and Tippetts, 1994) Over 60 percent of third-time DUI offenders who have their license suspended or revoked commit some manner of traffic violation during their suspension/revocation period (NHTSA, 2003). Unlicensed drivers are involved in 20 percent of all traffic crashes (Scopatz, 2003) and are 3.7 times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than validly licensed drivers (DeYoung, 1997). Clearly, something else must be done to deter those whose licenses are suspended or revoked from driving while suspended (DWS).

"MADD's recommendations for dealing with these higher-risk offenders have been scientifically shown to work. MADD recommends restrictions on driving, including impoundment, immobilization, or forfeiture of the vehicle and installation of an alcohol ignition interlock device. MADD also advocates the impoundment of the vehicle's license plate to make officials aware of the offender's DWS status. Finally, MADD recommends restitution to any victims if the offense arose from a crash."

If I were a judge I would find it difficult to justify letting you off. That said, if you're in New York State, stranger things have happened:
