Received DMV letter asking to prove I have car insurance...?

Question

I received a letter from the DMV asking me to prove I had car insurance at the time of the date on the letter. My vehicle has a salvage title since last Fall because I hit a guard rail. I called the DMV & they told me to just mail them a copy of the salvage title & that would be all the proof they need that the vehicle was not driveable on the date the letter was issued. I sent the info , but recevied another letter from them saying it was not acceptable to resolve the proof of insurance situation. I let my insurance lapse months ago, but before that I had been driving it after I fixed it myself. I have yet to get the inspection for a new title. Does anyone know what the penalties or fines are for driving a vehicle that has a salvage title with no insurance??

Answer 1

Depends on what state you are in. You could lose your license, have to pay a stiff fine (OR BOTH) and you may have to get a high-risk insurance.

Answer 2

The fine for driving a vehicle with salvage title and no insurance is same as non salvage.
You really should have known!

Answer 3

what state?

try your local DMV website.

If your driving it you need at least liability on ANY vehicle. It can cost you.
