A misdemeanor is a criminal violation with a maximum penalty of a year in jail. Most traffic misdemeanors range between 30 and 90 days. A civil infraction is non criminal meaning that you can receive a fine, but no jail time.
Cost of driving without a license varies from court to court and state to state. A modest fine is around a hundred dollars plus points on your driving record and an impounded car.

Infraction Vs Misdemeanor

An infraction is a general intent crime meaning you can be breaking the law and not necessarily know that you are breaking the law. for example speeding is an infraction. If you think you are in a 45 and doing 45 but are really in a 25 zone then you still can get a ticket. There is no jail time attached to an infraction.
A misdemeanor is the next step up in the crime game and they are more specific intent crimes which means you know you are breaking the law. That and a misdemeanor carries potential jail time up to a year.
Felony crimes are punishable by jail and or prison.
This is all based on California law. Hope that helps.

Infraction: act of breaking the law. Misdemeanor: a degree of which the law was broken. Your Infraction can be a Misdemeanor or a Felony.

Infractions, Misdemeanors, and Felonies are differentiated by the penalties associated with them. Of course, the severity of the offense and the harm done to others will impact the penalty, so the more serious offenses are felonies...
Infractions - fine only
Misdemeanors - fine and/or jail (up to 1 year in County jail)
Felonies - fine and/or State/Federal Prison (anything over 1 year)

As a general rule, a misdemeanor is a violation of a state's criminal statutes. Being found guilty, being adjudicating guilty, or pleading guilty of a misdemeanor means you have a criminal conviction.
Infractions on the other hand are violations of non-criminal state codes, most often traffic codes. Violations of municipal codes are also infractions (e.g. having too much trash on your lawn, false alarms, etc). Infractions do not carry the stigma of a criminal conviction and do not carry with them the possibility of jail time. Fines are the most common sanction for committing an infraction.

An infraction is the lowest level of criminal conduct -- usually a violation of some regulatory statute, administrative regulation, or local ordinance.
An infraction cannot have jail time -- a misdemeanor can, but usually very limited jail time.

What Is An Infraction

An infraction is a violation of a rule or law. A misdemeanor is a infraction, and so is a felony.
