The fine for this offense will be doubled this year, under legislation signed this month by Gov. Deval Patrick. The existing maximum fine for driving without a license is $250. This will be increased for a first offense to $500. The bill creates a progressive penalty. Violators would pay up to $1,000 for  a second offense, and/or 30 days in jail; and then $1,000 to $2,000 and/or 60 days in jail for a third offense. Upon third offense, the vehicle could be forfeited. In addition, the first-time fine for allowing someone to drive a vehicle, knowing they do not possess a license, will be increased to $500. Both proposals were introduced …
