Frequently asked questions
I had coverage when I was stopped — what happens now?
Showing your policy was active on the citation date typically gets the charge dismissed, often with no court appearance. A Tennessee attorney from our network can file the proof with the clerk and close it out.
Is driving uninsured a crime in Tennessee?
Yes — a Class C misdemeanor under the financial responsibility law, with a fine of up to $300 plus the license and registration fallout. It's a criminal charge, which is exactly why it's negotiable rather than just payable.
What is an SR-22 and when does Tennessee require it?
It's a certificate your insurer files proving you carry coverage, required after certain suspensions and violations. It brands you high-risk for years — one more reason to resolve the ticket without a conviction.
Does buying insurance right after the ticket help?
Significantly. Tennessee courts routinely dismiss or reduce first-offense charges when you show prompt coverage, sometimes on payment of costs alone. An attorney can present it in the best light.
