Will my License Be Suspended if Caught Driving Without Insurance
Reader’s Question:
I just want to know if there is a suspension that is mandatory for driving without insurance?

Thank you for asking Kaye.
Driving without insurance is considered a serious offense in most states. The penalty for this kind of infraction varies from state to state. This can include large amount of fines, suspension or revocation of your drivers license, impoundment of your vehicle (and payment of storage and towing charges incurred), jail time or community service. Most states, for instance, New Jersey, the mandatory penalties for a person found driving without insurance are even greater than those for a person receiving a DUI citation for the first time.
It is regulated by each state.
It is also likely that you will have to comply with the state’s financial responsibility laws by getting an SR22 or the Financial Responsibility Certificate.
Goodluck!
