Which violation covers operating a vehicle when the registration has been suspended or revoked?

• A. Fail To Comply
• B. Leaving Scene Of Property Damage
• C. Fail To Obey Traffic Control Device
• D. Operating While Registration Suspended Or Revoked (Misdemeanor)

Answer: (D)

Operating a vehicle when its registration is suspended or revoked is a misdemeanor. In New York, you must have valid registration to drive on public roads; when the DMV suspends or revokes that registration, operating the vehicle is illegal until it’s reinstated. This directly matches the described prohibited conduct, making it the best choice. The other violations involve different situations—failing to comply with a lawful order, leaving the scene of property damage, or disobeying a traffic control device—so they don’t address the specific issue of driving with invalid registration.
