You should never drive
a car or truck when you don’t have insurance. If ever you do so, there are a
number of severe penalties you may be charged with. While driving without
insurance is a serious offense in most states, it comes with particularly stiff
penalties in New Jersey.
Penalties for Driving Without Insurance
If you own a vehicle in New Jersey, it’s mandatory that you have insurance that
covers the vehicle. When you operate a vehicle on a highway or public road in
New Jersey, you’ll face a variety of penalties if pulled over. A first offense
comes with penalties that amount to fines of $300-$1,000, DMV fines of $250 for
a total of three years, and a suspension of your license for a year. Court fees
may also be applicable. A second offense is much more severe and can carry with
it fines of up to $5,000. You may also face jail time of two weeks, community
service for 30 days, and suspension of your license for two years.
