DUS

Driving Under Suspension (DUS) is a common but serious traffic offense in North Dakota. It applies when an individual operates a vehicle while their driving privileges have been suspended, revoked, or canceled by the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT). The reasons for the original suspension can vary widely—DUI, unpaid fines, failure to appear in court, insurance violations, or point accumulation.

Many people don't realize that DUS is not just a traffic infraction—it’s a criminal misdemeanor that can escalate with repeat offenses. Even if you were unaware your license was suspended, you may still be prosecuted. The penalties increase if the original suspension was due to a DUI or if it's a repeat violation.
