No person whose privilege to drive a commercial motor vehicle has been suspended
or revoked or who has been disqualified from operating a commercial motor
vehicle or who has been ordered out of service, and who has been given notice
of, or reasonably should know of the suspension, revocation, disqualification,
or out-of-service order shall operate a commercial motor vehicle anywhere in the
Commonwealth until the period of such suspension, revocation, disqualification,
or out-of-service order has terminated, nor shall any person operate on any
highway any vehicle that has been declared out of service until such time as the
out-of-service declaration has been lifted.
		Any person who violates this section shall, for the first offense, be guilty
of a Class 2 misdemeanor, and for the second or any subsequent offense, be

subsequent offense. Upon receipt of a record of a violation of this section, the
