Fail to Maintain Financial Responsibility (No Insurance)
Proof of financial responsibility (vehicle liability insurance) must be submitted to the court..
The document must also show the policy was valid at the date and time of the alleged offense.

Expired Vehicle Registration
You must renew the registration within 20 business days from the date of the violation.
You MUST pay the late registration penalty fee to the State when you are registering your vehicle. Should you send someone else to purchase your vehicle registration and they do not pay the late penalty fee the Court cannot dismiss the charge.
