NJ Driving Without Insurance

Jamesburg, NJ Driving Without Insurance Attorney

If you are driving without insurance in Jamesburg, NJ watch out! All New Jersey registered cars are legally required to carry liability insurance- simple as that. While your insurance options vary greatly, failure to carry the minimum amount of insurance can get you in serious financial and legal trouble. The logic behind these requirements is fairly simple and straightforward: because car accidents happen, (around six million a year in the United States) there should be some base level of financial compensation available for both you and the other driver should there be injuries, death and damage to the vehicles and individuals involved. If you have ever been in a car accident with an uninsured driver, you likely already know the importance of this requirement and can luckily fall back on your own insurance to help you in these instances.

Before I get into the fines and penalties associated with a Jamesburg driving without insurance conviction, here’s a quick breakdown of the minimum insurance coverage requirements for all of New Jersey:

  • $15,000 for injuries and/or death of one person
  • $30,000 for the injuries and/or death of more than one person
  • $5,000 damage to property

A now onto the penalties associated with a driving without insurance Jamesburg, NJ conviction:

  • First Offense: fines ranging from $301-$1002, $250 and community service
  • Second Offense: fines beginning at $502 with a mandatory, drivers’ license suspension, 14 day jail sentence and 30 days of community service.

Like many traffic convictions in Jamesburg, there are a handful of secondary punishments that can be just as big of a headache as the main penalties. These include: MVC annual surcharges, points on your driving record and raised car insurance premiums. That’s right, most drivers will not only have tons of fines and fees to pay upfront but will find it expensive to get car insurance after a conviction because of the presence of points on their record.
