Driving Without Insurance Attorney in Union County
In New Jersey, driving without insurance is arguably the most severe motor vehicle you can get. This is because if you found guilty of operating a motor vehicle without insurance you will lose your drivers license for a mandatory period of one (1) year period, no question about it. Moreover, you can be ordered to perform community service, pay surcharges, and face time in the county jail. New Jersey does not offer any “hardship” or work license program so the suspension period is absolute and if you are caught driving while suspended you face additional penalties including further loss of license. William Proetta Criminal Law has successfully defended clients against thousands of municipal court charges and motor vehicle violations including driving without insurance. We are normally able to get driving without insurance charges amended or even dismissed altogether so our clients avoid loss of license. We represent clients throughout New Jersey including Summit, Roselle, Fanwood, Garwood, Hillside, Kenilworth and Plainfield.

Uninsured Driver NJ Statute 39:6B-2
New Jersey has “strict liability” for motor vehicle insurance which means you cannot use the excuse you did not know that the vehicle was not insured. The responsibility always rests with the owner of the vehicle, or title holder – however any person driving the vehicle can be ticketed for 39:6B-2 driving without insurance if they are operating someone else’s car that is not properly insured. In this state, your auto insurance must be at least $15,000 personal injury or death, $30,000 for multi-injury/death and $5,000 for damage to property, anything less is inadequate. The purpose behind the driving without insurance statute is to encourage the public to have motor vehicle insurance so New Jersey’s are safer. This is why the court will normally consider many factors on how they will seek to prosecute the charge including, the reason for the lapse in coverage, how long you were without insurance, and whether you were properly notified of the termination of coverage.
