Are You Facing Charges of Driving Without Insurance?
By itself, a charge of driving without insurance has significant penalties. However, these charges are generally discovered during the course of a stop or an arrest for another traffic violation, making them complex and challenging to fight.
A careful review of your case is important because there may be a simple explanation to refute a charge of driving without insurance. Was it just a matter of a short lapse because you forgot to renew your policy? Perhaps you were charged simply because you didn't have the necessary documentation in your glove box, even though you have insurance.
Contact a lawyer at the law firm of Carucci Butler, LLC. Our criminal defense practice is dedicated to handling challenging traffic matters such as these.

Penalties for Driving Without Insurance
Being accused of driving without insurance is a big deal. The fines may be extremely high:
- If convicted of your 1st offense, you could be fined up to $1,500.
- If convicted of a repeat offense, you could be fined up to $3,000.
The fines are in addition to the possibility of a six month driver's license suspension.
Of course, these are the penalties just for the charge of driving without insurance. If that charge is paired with a charge of DUI or driving with a suspended license, or some other violation, you could face even more dramatic punishments.
