No Insurance Tickets 319. 1a Driving without Insurance This is one ticket you really do not want to be convicted of. The consequences for a conviction of driving without insurance (319.1a) are severe. If you plead guilty to driving without insurance ( V.T.L. 319.1 ) or are ultimately convicted of driving without insurance in New York State, your license will be revoked for a period of 1 year, in addition to a fine of at least $100, a $80 surcharge and a $750 civil penalty. The resolution of a ticket for driving without insurance will ultimately depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, was an accident involved, did you receive other tickets along with the no insurance ticket, who actually owned the vehicle, the court that the ticket is returnable to, the prosecutor handling the case, and whether you are actually able to show proof that the vehicle was insured at the time of the stop. Often a ticket for no insurance can be dismissed, or at very least, reduced, unfortunately I can't tell you how many times I have sat in court and watched while a defendant appeared before the judge without an attorney and plead guilty to a no insurance ticket that I knew could be dismissed or reduced. The judge will often tell the defendant that if he or she pleads to the charge they will receive a $100 fine and $80 surcharge. The defendant pleads guilty not realizing that he or she has just lost their license for 1 year, and will be required to pay an additional $750 civil penalty when they reapply for their license. NO ONE SHOULD EVER PLEAD GUILTY TO A NO INSURANCE TICKET (319.1a) WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING WITH AN ATTORNEY Call today for Help! (516) 489-3600
