The Indiana driver's manual states that driving without a valid liability insurance policy in effect on the vehicle you are operating is against the law. Operating a vehicle without insurance coverage is a Class A infraction.
To attempt to deter uninsured motorists, Indiana law provides sanctions to be placed against those found to be operating a vehicle without the proper insurance.
A person who operates a vehicle in Indiana without an automobile liability insurance policy in effect is subject to a 90 day driver license suspension or a one year suspension if it is a repeat violation in a three year period. In order to obtain a reinstatement of the license, the person must pay a reinstatement fee of $150, $225, or $300 depending on whether it is a first, second, third or subsequent offense, and provide current proof of insurance signed by an agent or representative of the insurance company.
