Operating After Revocation Charges in Wisconsin | Driving After Revocation

Operating After Revocation Charges in Wisconsin: If you are caught driving after revocation after your license has been revoked due to DUI or OWI, you may face charges of Operating After Revocation (OAR) in Wisconsin, not to be confused with Operating.

After Suspension, which is a lesser offense, Operating After Revocation in Wisconsin is a misdemeanor criminal charge, but there are other penalties that can result in fines in case of driving after revocation, points on your driver’s license or extended time without your license. (You can find a detailed chart on these penalties if you visit the Wisconsin courts website.)

Please note that, even if your license was revoked for a first-offense DUI/OWI charge in Wisconsin and your record is otherwise clean, a judge may have little lenience or hesitation when sentencing your Operating After Revocation (OAR) Wisconsin charge. And the following factors can have a negative impact on your case:

• Previous OWI/PAC or OAR/OWS convictions
• A resulting accident or aggravated driving
• If injury to a person or property occurred
• If alcohol or controlled substances contributed to the OAR
• Record of unsafe driving
• If you attempt to leave the scene
