Reader’s Question:
My wife has not carried car insurance since 2005. I was pulled over yesterday in her vehicle and had to surrender the license plates. How long can her license be suspended in Hamburg, New York and what are the fines for having a car and not having auto insurance on it?

According to the New York State DMV if you do not have car insurance coverage and you do not surrender your vehicle plates to the Department of Motor Vehicle, your registration and driving privilege are suspended indefinitely.
You must pay a termination fee of $25 to reinstate your license when the suspension ends.
There likely will be other associated fees and fines to be paid so you and your wife may want to call the court listed on the ticket received for driving without insurance. The court should be able to give you with the information you need to know about this violation and its associated penalties.
