This will certainly vary by state, but a typical citation for not being able to show proof of insurance will be a "correctable violation", meaning, for a small administrative fee ($10-$20), the court will dismiss the charge if you can demonstrate you had proper insurance at the time of the citation.
If you have a current insurance policy and are in a car accident, but have an expired license, it is up to the insurance company if they will pay the claim or not. It could be in their clause not to, if a person does not have a valid drivers license, especially if you are the one at fault.
You have insurance and drivers license is expired can you be ticketed
no, because it is not current, there is no proof it was ever actually valid
It is same as driving without the insurance, need to renew the policy before it's expiry date.There shouldn't be lapse in the current policy,has to be renewed when it's about to expire to maintain its continued validity as current policy.
In New Jersey the fine for having an expired registration is $54.00 Expired insurance is a much bigger problem. Get A Lawyer. The mandatory penalties imposed for driving without insurance is greater than the first offender penalties for drunk driving or possession of marijuana. Mandatory penalties include automatic loss of license for one year, $300.00 fine and a period of community service to be determined by the Municipal Court. N.J.S.A. 39:6B-2 The no car insurance statute is one of the few strict liability statutes. "Every owner or registered owner of a motor vehicle registered or principally garaged in this state shall maintain motor vehicle coverage, under provisions approved by the Commissioner of Insurance." N.J.S.A. 39:6B-1 There are also court costs and insurance surcharges of $250.00 per year for three years. Failure to produce at the time of trial an insurance card or insurance policy covering the date of the offense creates a rebuttable presumption that the person was uninsured when charged with the offense.
Would depend on the state.
it has to be a current driver's license it CANNOT be expired
All you have to do is get it inspected at any inspection place. Must have clear title, proof of insurance, and current registration. That's it.
yes
Try asking the Insurance Company.
I was arrested for having expired registration in Massachusetts. Seriously.
Yes. The reason being is insurance covers the car not the person. So whether that person chooses to drive around with an expired license or an expired plate sticker is on them. You will still get a ticket for those violations, but you will have insurance and the insurance company will abide by everything in the insurance contract.
