1. The person has been cited as provided in s. 322.34(1), and any cancellation, revocation, or suspension in effect at that time remains in effect;  or

2. The person admits to knowledge of the cancellation, suspension, or revocation;  or

(b) In any proceeding for a violation of this section, a court may consider evidence, other than that specified in paragraph (a), that a person knowingly possessed a canceled, suspended, or revoked driver license.

(c) Any judgment or order rendered by a court or adjudicatory body or any uniform traffic citation that cancels, suspends, or revokes a person's driver license must contain a provision notifying the person that his or her driver license or driving privilege has been canceled, suspended, or revoked.

(2) To lend his or her driver license to any other person or knowingly permit the use thereof by another.

(3) To display, or represent as his or her own, any driver license not issued to him or her.
