Charged as a Class IV felony, a defendant faces an additional 15 year license revocation as well as up to five years in prison if convicted of operating a vehicle during a revocation period. Nebraska Revised Statute 60-6,197.06 – “Operating motor vehicle during revocation period,” sets forth the penalties for driving after a court has revoked your license pursuant to various convictions, including driving under the influence. While it may be true that the license revocation penalties are harsh for a DUI conviction in Nebraska, the penalties for violating a license revocation order are even more severe. For most third, and subsequent, DUI convictions a 15 year license revocation is mandatory. A 15 year license revocation, for example, is possible upon a second DUI conviction if the defendant had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.15 percent or higher at the time of the arrest, known as an “aggravated” DUI. The penalties in the State of Nebraska for conviction of a DUI are harsh, particularly if you have a previous conviction for the same, or a similar, offense. When Is a 15 Year License Revocation Ordered? If you were sentenced to a 15 year revocation, it may be possible to obtain permission for you to drive legally once again before the 15 year revocation period expires. Recognizing these unintended negative side effects, all DUI revocations since 2001 have been eligible for driving on an ignition interlock device however, many lawyers, and even courts, were unaware of the changes to the law. Not all that long ago, lawmakers began to realize that a 15 year revocation leads to additional crime, denial of employment, failure to support children, and general poverty to those on whom the penalty is imposed. The good news is that help may be available. In Omaha, 15 years is a very long time to be without the legal ability to drive a vehicle, and if you get caught driving one illegally, you face a felony conviction, jail time, and yet another lengthy license revocation.
