Car Insurance Question  I was in an accident and informed that my license was suspended and my car insurance was not valid prior to the accident. In the state of PA what will the penalty be?

The penalties in Pennsylvania for driving with a suspended license will vary depending on the reason for your suspension. If it was suspended due to operating a vehicle without insurance it will likely be 3 months before you can have it reinstated.

If you are found by law enforcement to be driving without insurance in PA, you could face the following penalties and expenses:

  • A minimum fine of $300 for driving uninsured;
  • A 3 month suspension of your vehicle's registration;
  • A 3 month suspension of your driver's license;
  • A $50 restoration fee to restore your vehicle's registration;
  • $50 restoration fee to restore your driver's license;
  • Your vehicle may not be driven by anyone while the registration is suspended.

Also if you were at fault in the car accident, you likely will be held personally responsible for the damage to the other driver's vehicle. For more information about penalties contact the Pennsylvania Driver and Vehicle Services.
