what is the penalty for driving with no insurance?

Answer 1

A Fine and in certain circumstances, Prison--or both. Repeat offenders can be disqualified.

Answer 2

It depends on where you live....all the way down to the city.

I had to go to traffic court once in Overland Park, KS, and there were about 30 people in there...all of them were there because a year ago they had been caught without insurance, and had to report to court several times per year with proof that they have had continuous auto insurance coverage with no lapses.

That was an additional penalty in addition to having to pay a large fine. I am sure the car was impounded, which costs money as well. I don't think that jail is a penalty unless that person has other violations or warrants.

Answer 3

at least 6 points and a fine, in the UK. Possibly a ban too. A friend of mine got caught driving without insurance (he thought he was insured, but it turns out the car he was driving needed to have its own insurance to be covered on his policy), he said this in court and got the minimum, 6 points and £200.

Answer 4

Depends on where you live. In New York state, the DMV charges a fine for each day you are without insurance. They will also suspend your license. If you are caught driving, you will be given an appearance ticket or jail time and your car will be towed.

Answer 5

All depends on the situation, if you are just caught by the police its points and the fine, but if you were involved in accident it could potentialy cost you everything you own. As the third party would not be able to claim from your insurers they would sue you directly for any damage to vehicles, property, and most importantly injuries, modern claims can go into millions, larget claim paid was £57,000,000 from one car policy. If you have no money they will put you in prison.

Answer 9

Only a real problem if you hit something or somebody - you are not insured and probably will have to pay out of your own pocket. Try killing someone with your car to find out how much that will be. Why do you think it is an option not to have insurance?

Answer 10

(U.S.) In some states it is a hefty fine ($750+), jail time, a suspension of license, or a suspension of plates. It just depends where you live. A friend of mine lives in N.C. He let his insurance lapse for 15 days, the insurance company reported him, and he was sent a bill for $50. Unfortunately he did not get the payment out in time and now the state has taken his plates for 30 days.

Answer 11

if you are in an accident and do not have insurance, you will be paying by being sued by the other party. you will get a ticket and have points put on and will may be put in jail. when you go for your tag for the car, they look to see if you don't have car insurance and if you don't have insurance, you don't get the tag and driving without a renewed tag, you get jail time. also they will take your license away and driving without a license you can get jail time also
