New Insurance Law in Illinois? |
Can anyone tell me what is the penalty for driving without insurance in Illinois and getting into an accident. I was driving my friend's car and got into an accident, it was my fault because i was changing lanes. I have already paid the other guy for his damages and have gotten a release from him. This is a first time offense, what will happen to me. What if it is not me who owns the car. It's my friend's car and he's putting it away for the winter. I was driving it to the storage area when i got into the accident. The fine could be $500 without insurance, and you will still be forced to obtain SR22 insurance. Get the insurance on your own, so the fine will be less. Reported for using multiple accounts to vote on his main account's answer in order to win best answer. Report It According to the Illinois Secretary of State's website, your license plates will be suspended, and you will be fined at least $500. There is also a $100 fee to re-instate your license plates. In addition, it will cost you MORE to purchase insurance than you would otherwise pay. Contrary to other answers, it is up to the judge... within guidelines. A judge actually has the option of giving you jail time and suspending your license. Most of the time, if you show proof of insurance when you go to court it is lowered to a fine and 2 years probation. (unsupervised) |
