Car Insurance Question  In the state of Florida if you show up to court with proof of insurance and registration, what are the penalties? I received 3 tickets for reg. and no insurance (first offense).

To find out what penalties you might be receiving due to the citations you obtained for no registration and no insurance on your vehicle, contact with the Florida court or other entity listed on the tickets. The court clerk might be able to tell you if you bring in current proof of insurance and registration if your penalties will be lessened.

Generally, if you do not keep insurance on your vehicle the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (HSMV) is authorized to suspend your license, vehicle tag and registration for up to 3 years or until proof of FL insurance is provided.

To reinstate your driving privileges after being caught uninsured a reinstatement fee of between $150 and $500 and show proof of auto insurance. While for not having registration on a vehicle, there are delinquent fees that are imposed on car owners who fail to renew their registration before the end of the month of which renewal registration is due.
