Driving without Insurance
Driving without Insurance Ticket
In order to register and legally operate your car in Pennsylvania, motorists are required to maintain “financial responsibility” with both vehicle liability and medical coverage insurance. These requirements are written into the law as a way to protect drivers in the event of an accident. To look at this further, under state law a minimum of $5,000 for medical benefits, $30,000 bodily injury per accident, a minimum of $15,000 for bodily injury per person and property damage for $5,000. Driving without motor vehicle insurance may lead to a number of serious problems for a driver. The most obvious of potential consequences is that, in the event you are in an accident, you will have no means to set up to pay for the inflicted damages. Consequently, you are exposing yourself to face extreme financial hardships.
No one should ever plead guilty to a Driving without Insurance ticket without consulting an attorney first. The consequences of being convicted of driving without insurance are potentially serious. Those who plead guilty to driving without insurance are subject to a mandatory six month license suspension at a minimum, as well as fines, surcharges, and other potential penalties.

We understand that most drivers are hesitant to contact an attorney for a motor vehicle violation. Generally, they feel that the cost of an attorney is not worth it when their ticket is not terribly expensive. Do not make this mistake! The potential penalties and fees that are not listed on the ticket would shock you. Aside from the fine provided, you would be responsible for surcharges, court costs, and other potential penalties. Additionally, you could be at risk to have your vehicle registration suspended or License Suspended. As if all this is not enough, any future insurance premiums – which you would have to secure to begin driving legally again – would be prohibitively expensive as a result of this offense. These are all common consequences that may be handed down by the court if you are found guilty of Driving without Insurance. Don’t let that happen to you.
