All vehicles operated on public roads MUST have liability insurance. The owner (your father in this case) is responsible for securing insurance. If your father was renting out uninsured vehicles then he was breaking the law and was properly charged for allowing an uninsured vehicle to be operated on a public road. Quite a few laws actually since he almost certainly didn't have a business license either.
It's quite likely that he will be charged for every vehicle that he owns and may well lose his license for a number of years if not permanently. Since proof of insurance is required to register a vehicle it's quite likely that he may be charged with insurance fraud as well since he must have had insurance at one time or had forged insurance papers. In that case, prison time is likely.
If you can't do the time, don't do the crime!

Insurance goes with the car, not with the driver. In any state if yo own a vehicle that operates on the roads it must be insured. If it is not, you get a ticket, and a fine. If there was a crash he will also probably be responsible for any losses there. It's not a 'not getting' charge, it is a "failure to maintain compulsory insurance" charge.

It's because there's a law in North America that a driver must always have an insurance. It's stupid I know because I drive too and I pay like 320 a month. Yet, I dont get into any accidents and Im sure i'll never will!! So just do the right thing... obey the law and get no troubles... I cant believe i wasted so much alreadyyy

Im confused how you are confused?
In America, you MUST have atleast liability insurance if you own a vehicle thats operated on roads.
Why you ask? b/c situations just like this. When an innocent person is driving down the road and their vehicle (or god forbid themselves) are injured by your vehicle- dont you feel you should be responsible?
