Frequently asked questions
How bad is an uninsured operation charge in New York?
Worse than almost any point-carrying ticket. VTL 319 carries a fine up to $1,500, a mandatory one-year revocation of your license and registration, and a separate $750 civil penalty to be relicensed. It has no points — and it doesn't need any.
My insurance was actually active. Can this be dismissed?
Yes — proof that your policy covered the vehicle on the ticket date typically ends the case. We connect you with a licensed New York attorney who gets the documentation in front of the court or prosecutor correctly the first time.
My insurer cancelled me without my knowledge. Is that a defense?
It can be. New York insurers must follow strict cancellation-notice procedures, and a defective cancellation means you may have been legally covered. This is exactly the kind of technical defense an attorney should evaluate before you plead to anything.
The DMV says my registration is suspended over an insurance lapse. Is that the same case?
No — that's a parallel administrative track. New York fines lapses at $8–$12 per day (up to 90 days) or suspends the registration outright. An attorney can help you address both the court case and the DMV lapse so neither one ambushes you later.
