Re: lapsed insurance card presented

It is not likely that you will be jailed over it. If you did not have insurance at the time of the stop, the BMV will be notified by the court and you will receive a letter from the BMV stating that your license has been suspended for failure of proof of insurance. Usually a 90 day suspension and reinstatement fee. There is a possibility that it will never get to that. Caontact me to talk about this further, 2 1 6 , 2 2 7, - 0900.
