Are You Driving Without Auto Insurance ?
Reader’s Question:
If I received a ticket for running on a stop sign in California what would be my penalty? Also, if let’s say I’m cited for that violation plus I’m caught driving without auto insurance is it going to be double penalties? What penalties are involved?

In the state of California, is it mandatory that you meet the required financial responsible law on the vehicles you operate or drive. One of the common ways in which California residents meet such requirement is through purchasing auto insurance.
If you are stopped by a law enforcement officer for failing to stop in a stop sign and you were asked to show proof of financial responsibility but you failed to do that would mean paying fines which can go up to $500. Also, other penalties are to be imposed like you car being impounded and your driver’s license suspended. If your vehicle is impounded, then you need to pay additional charges for tow and storage fees.
If let’s say you are involved in a more serious traffic violation like driving without auto insurance and got involved in a vehicular accident, you will be asked to comply with the financial responsibility law through to name a few like SR22, SR22, and SR16 depending on what applies to your situation. Not to mention having to pay for the damages incurred from the accident right from your own pockets.
