- No license points, but a criminal charge with RMV suspension attached
- Insurance impact

Frequently asked questions
Is driving uninsured a criminal offense in Massachusetts?
Yes — MGL c.90 § 34J makes operating an uninsured vehicle a criminal matter with fines from $500 to $5,000, jail exposure, and a 60-day license suspension on a first conviction. This is not a ticket to mail back with a check.
Massachusetts requires insurance to register — how do these charges even happen?
Usually through a lapse: a cancelled policy for missed payment, a registration revocation you never saw, or a borrowed vehicle whose coverage had quietly died. Those innocent-lapse facts matter, and an attorney can often turn them into a dismissal or a civil resolution.
The policy was actually active when I was stopped. Now what?
Documentation from your insurer showing coverage on the citation date typically ends the case. An attorney in our network can gather the proof and present it — often resolving the charge before it ever reaches a trial date.
Can a first offense be kept off my criminal record in Massachusetts?
Often — outcomes like pretrial probation or a continuance without a finding (CWOF) can resolve the case without a conviction, protecting both your record and your future insurability. Which disposition is realistic depends on the court and your facts.
