No Insurance Tickets: Understand The Potential Penalties
After receiving a ticket for no insurance, many people assume that their only option is to pay the fine. However, when you pay the fine, you essentially plead guilty, and your driver’s license can be revoked for one year. Don’t simply pay the fine before talking to us — we can explain your options and help you seek a better outcome.
The potential consequences of driving without insurance include:
- A fine of $150 – $1,500
- Up to 15 days in jail
- Revocation of your driver’s license for one year — Important: If your license is revoked, you don’t automatically get it back. You have to resubmit an application, and your record has to be reviewed before you can get your license back.
- A civil penalty of $750 to reinstate your driver’s license
- Difficulty finding an insurance company to cover you after a lapse in coverage
If you have an insurance policy lapse that is greater than 90 days or you fail to surrender your license plates to the Department of Motor Vehicles, your vehicle registration and your driver license will be suspended. You could also face daily fees and a reinstatement fee to be paid to the DMV.
Don’t let your ticket go unchallenged. Let us fight for you.
Other Factors To Consider
The outcome of your case may depend on a variety of other factors, including:
- The specific court where your ticket must be returned
- Whether you were involved in an accident
- Whether you left the scene of an accident
- Whether you are the registered owner of the vehicle
- Whether you can provide proof that the vehicle was actually insured
- Whether you are facing other tickets or charges, such as DWI charges or driving with a suspended license or suspended registration
At the Law Office of Randy S. Alpert, we understand how traffic ticket cases can quickly become complex. We can sort out the facts of your case and help you protect your driving privileges.
