What happens if you are driving with a suspended license and you didn't know it?

Have you ever heard the phrase "ignorance of the law is no excuse"?
It doesn't matter if you knew or not. It's illegal to drive with a suspended license, and if you're doing so, you can be charged with that crime.
Legitimately not knowing might be a defense in court, but you'd probably have to prove that you didn't know, since usually having your license suspended doesn't occur until after you've done something that you should reasonably suspect your license would be suspended for.

What happens when a person with a suspended license is involved in an accident in another person's car and is at fault?
You will most likely be charged with driving with a suspended licence. The owner of the car u were driving may get in trouble if he knew you did not have a licence and let you drive anyway, however if he didnt know you did not have one then nothing will happen to him. His insurance should (if he has insurance) cover the other guys car and his as well if he had full coverage.

I have 3 pending tickets on a NJ Drivers license. I have moved to ny and have a valid ny license. If my NJ licesne is suspended would i still be allowed to drive in NJ with my Ny licesne?
Years ago it would be possible to have gotten away with having a suspended license in one state and a valid license in another. While I have seen a few instances of this happening, the advant of computers and NCIC and IDAX systems helps Law Enforcment not only track criminals but to check the drivers status in other states. Most States have entered into what is called an "interstate Compact". This is an agreement between the States to honor such things as the other States suspensions. It is quite possible even today. I had my license suspended in IL after I moved to NC. What happened is that when I got my last speeding ticket, I gave everything into the hands of a lawyer in IL, so that my case was in a limbo state. I moved right away to NC, and got a new driving license with no problem. Subsequently they suspended my old IL driving license, I didnt even know it, my NC license was still valid. I found out I had a suspended IL license when I moved again to California. When I went to have a new California license they told me I had to clear my record in IL first. I called DMV in IL, they told me my license had gotten suspended for 6 months, and given it was not 5 years later I could clear my record by paying 75$. I did it and got my brand new California license. If I didnt need a new license, my NC license would have been valid still even without clearing my record in IL. To answer the initial question, yes you can drive in NJ with your NY license as long as the tickets are still pending. Once they close, you wont be able anymore unless they close as you not being guilty of anything. After the suspesion period you will be able to drive in NJ again.
Can you get a Texas id if your drivers license is suspended and where and how?
No, you can not get a license anywhere in the United States if your driving license has been suspended for any reason. The reason being is that now the DMV has this nifty little system where they can see all the states you have had drivers licenses and what kind of driving violations have occured. Back like 5 years ago they didnt have this so you could have but now you cant.

If your parked car was hit and the at-fault driver was found what options are available if both parties are insured but the at-fault driver has a permit and was driving alone?
you could sue to get ythe money to pay for your car and anything else that might have been ruined you would probably win because he was driving illegaly also if he didnt stay at the scene of the accident it is a hit and run he also might have his license suspended
Your NJ license expired 2 weeks ago but you got a DUI 2 months ago and they didnt take your license yet can you get your license renewed?
If you haven't gone to court yet you aren't guilty and can get your license. If you have been found guilty in court already, they have taken your driving privileges.
