Driving with a Suspended License

What are some defenses to driving on a suspended license?

Some defenses for driving with a suspended license include:

• never receiving official notice of suspension
• the suspension was improper and your license has been reinstated
• not actually "operating" the vehicle pursuant to the legal definition
• not driving on a public road
