Operating After Revocation for OUI is one of the most serious license-related charges in Massachusetts. Under M.G.L. c. 90, §23, driving after your license has been revoked for an OUI conviction carries mandatory jail time and harsh consequences.
Penalties for OAR (OUI)
- Mandatory minimum 60 days in jail, up to 2.5 years in the House of Correction
- Fine of $1,000 to $10,000
- Felony conviction if aggravating factors exist
- Additional license revocation time imposed by the RMV
- Potential for vehicle forfeiture in repeat cases

Collateral Consequences
- A criminal record with jail attached
- Loss of employment opportunities, especially in driving-related fields
- Permanent loss of CDL for commercial drivers
- Insurance cancellations and skyrocketing premiums
- Immigration issues for non-citizens

- Notice: Did you actually receive proper notice of the revocation?
- Stop legality: Did police have probable cause to stop your vehicle?
