In Alberta, what is the penalty for driving while your license is suspended?

Driving while your license is suspended is considered a serious offense in Alberta. The correct choice reflects that individuals caught doing so face significant legal repercussions, including a fine as well as the potential for additional charges or an extended suspension of their driving privileges. This serves multiple purposes: it acts as a deterrent against driving irresponsibly, ensures public safety, and reinforces the legal requirement to have a valid license when operating a vehicle.

In contrast, the other options inaccurately imply lesser consequences. There is no scenario where a first offense results in no penalties, nor would law enforcement typically issue a mere warning for such a serious violation. Similarly, while mandatory driving courses may be required in various circumstances, they do not serve as a penalty specifically tied to having a suspended license. Overall, the framework of penalties is designed to protect both the violator and the public from the dangers associated with illegal driving.
