Frequently asked questions
How does Maryland punish driving without insurance?
On two tracks. The criminal citation is a misdemeanor with up to a $1,000 fine and five points. Separately, the MVA fines the insurance lapse itself — starting around $150 for the first 30 days and growing $7 per day after — and those administrative penalties accrue whether or not you're ever stopped.
My insurer notified the MVA of a lapse but I was actually covered. Help?
Coverage-reporting errors happen regularly. An FR-19 form from your insurer certifying coverage on the relevant dates resolves both the MVA case and usually the court case. An attorney in our network can chase down the paperwork and present it so the charge is dismissed.
Can I get probation before judgment on a Maryland no-insurance charge?
Yes — PBJ is available and is often the target outcome: no conviction, no five points, and a far better insurance future. Judges are most receptive when you've restored coverage and an attorney presents the case cleanly.
What about the MVA's daily lapse penalties?
They're separate from the court case and must be addressed with the MVA directly — unpaid, they block registration renewal and get referred for collection. An attorney can often negotiate or structure them while resolving the citation.
