Car Insurance Question  My license was taken when I received a ticket. I was wondering if you can apply for insurance while driving on a ticket.

If your license was taken, typically meaning that it is suspended or revoked, then normally you are unable to legally drive a vehicle until your driver's license is reinstated and thus your driving privileges are returned to you.

You may apply for insurance during the time that your license is suspended but an insurance company will usually require that you to get back your license within a short period of time, 30 to 45 days, from the inception of the policy or it could be canceled.

Instead if you are stating that your license information was taken down by the officer that stopped you for a moving violation, which is normal, and that the ticket is still pending and want to know if you can get insurance during this time, yes you can. Hopefully you were driving a car that was insured by the owner since it sounds as if you do not yet have your own insurance policy.

While your ticket is pending you can apply for insurance, you should though disclose this ticket since likely you will be paying the fine, thus pleading guilty and being convicted of the offense. At that point the ticket information will be placed on your driving record in most states and may be assigned points for the legal infraction.
