Frequently asked questions
Didn't Virginia let drivers pay a fee instead of buying insurance?
It did — the old $500 uninsured motor vehicle fee — but Virginia eliminated that option effective July 2024. Liability insurance is now mandatory for every registered vehicle, and driving uninsured brings penalties, suspension, and SR-22 consequences.
I actually had coverage when I was stopped. What now?
Proof of a policy in force on the ticket date usually resolves the charge. A Virginia attorney in our network can get the documentation in front of the court or DMV so the matter closes without you appearing.
What is an SR-22 (or FR-44) in Virginia?
Certificates your insurer files with the DMV proving future coverage — SR-22 for most violations, the pricier FR-44 after DUI-related offenses. Virginia can require the filing for three years, and insurers price you as high-risk the whole time.
Can an uninsured-driving charge be reduced?
Often, particularly for a first offense where you obtained coverage promptly after the stop. The goal is avoiding both the conviction and the SR-22 trigger, which is worth far more than the fine itself.
