Car Insurance Question  I'm from PA and I'm wondering, what the penalty is for being caught without insurance?

If Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) finds your auto insurance has lapsed for over 31 days you will have your vehicle's registration suspended for 3 months. If you are found to have operated the vehicle without insurance your license will be suspended for 3 months as well.

The vehicle's registration plate, sticker, card and your driver's license must be surrendered to PennDOT in order to serve the suspension. Restoration fees of $50 and proof of valid insurance must be submitted prior to the time your registration and/or driving privileges are to be returned.

Beyond these penalties for not having insurance on your vehicle if you are stopped and cited for driving without insurance your car might be impounded and fines will likely result, as well as the aforementioned suspensions.
