No Insurance Traffic Ticket? |
I got a traffic ticket for driving a car without insurance. I live in Long Island, NY I recommend that you get insurance immediately before you go to court. The fine will depend on the state you are in. It should tell you on the ticket. It might be listed as bail. If I were in your place, I would go to the first court hearing. The date will be on the ticket. Take your own car insurance with you. Explain to the judge that you are pleading no contest and ask to explain the situation. The judge will most likely lower the fine from that on the posted ticket. As the driver of the vehicle, you are responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle. That also includes making sure the tag is current & there's insurance on the vehicle. Just because the car belongs to your friend doesn't mean you are exempt from the law. The laws differ from state to state. Many jurisdictions merely require that you obtain proof of insurance and present it to the court by the date listed on the ticket. Other jurisdictions will impose a fine and can suspend your license. Check with the clerk of your local traffic court and find out what is required in your jurisdiction. It depends on where you live. Even in the US, the laws vary by state. It could be anything from a small fine to a suspension of your license. It may help to go to http://www.iii.org/media/hottopics/insur... Depending on the jurisdiction, the initial fine could be as high as $5,000.00. |
