Extensive Knowledge About New York Auto Insurance Requirements At Your Disposal
In order to register your car in New York, you must obtain New York State issued automobile liability insurance for that vehicle. Under New York law, your liability insurance must cover at least:
- $10,000 in property damage for a single accident
- $25,000 in bodily injury and $50,000 for the death of a person involved in an accident
- $50,000 for bodily injury and $100,000 for the death of two or more people involved in an accident
Your insurance must be effective while the registration is valid and it must be issued in the name of the vehicle registrant. There are no exceptions for non-use of a vehicle but there are exceptions for motorcycles. There may only be up to two names on a vehicle’s registration. Out-of-state insurance is never acceptable for a car registered in New York.
Penalties For Driving Without Insurance In New York Are Serious
Driving without insurance can lead to several different penalties that inconvenience both your personal and professional life. These penalties include:
- License suspension or revocation
- Fines ranging from $750 to over $1,500
- Vehicle impoundment
- Civil penalties of $8 to $12 per day during your insurance lapse
- Potential criminal charges and up to three months in jail
Also, if your uninsured vehicle is involved in an accident, your license will likely be revoked for at least one year. To avoid any lapse in coverage, it is vital that your insurance company notifies the DMV of any changes or cancellations as soon as possible. You must also respond to any DMV Insurance Letter and Orders as soon as you receive them.
