Eastern Members - PA - driving without photo ID card

does anyone know what the fine is for this???? 100 dollars?


just got my license back in the mail but im at school and it is at home.


im going to drive and i would like to know if anyone has gotten caught for it before...... is there a fine?


also: does anyone know how to find out how many points are on your license?

you can go on the dmv website and request driver history. that should have the points and whatnot.

Should be a $25.00 fine plus costs ~$107.50
But, I believe that its one of those where you can show proof of having possession within something like 15 days to get out of it. I don't do traffic so I may be off on the time. If its that important to you, I can look it up tomorrow.

thanks guys....... im not worried about it.... just curious because someone told me it was 100 dollar fine... that would be crazy. turns out that fine is just for people with expired or invalid licenses.

thanks

Actually its not... its not likely that anyone would issue a cite, but as I stated above, its pretty easy to get out of it if you would happen to get one.

Here is the section:
§ 1511. Carrying and exhibiting driver’s license on demand.
(a) GENERAL RULE.—Every licensee shall possess a driver’s license issued to the licensee at all times when driving a motor vehicle and shall exhibit the license upon demand by a police officer, and when requested by the police officer the licensee shall write the licensee’s name in the presence of the officer in order to provide identity.
(b) PRODUCTION TO AVOID PENALTY.—No person shall be convicted of violating this section or section 1501(a) (relating to drivers required to be licensed) if the person:
(1) produces at the headquarters of the police officer who demanded to see the person’s license, within 15 days of the demand, a driver’s license valid in this Commonwealth at the time of the demand; or
(2) if a citation has been filed, produces at the office of the issuing authority, within 15 days of the filing of the citation, a driver’s license valid in this Commonwealth on the date of the citation.
