Driving Without Insurance in Indiana

Operating Vehicles without Financial Responsibility

In Indiana, every driver is required to have insurance coverage of at least $25,000 per person in order to legally operate a vehicle. Motorist laws also mandate that drivers must have at least $50,000 worth of coverage per accident. However, one in every five Indiana drivers does not have the required insurance to operate their motor vehicles.

Although insurance can be difficult to afford, uninsured drivers end up causing millions of dollars worth of damage every year. Indiana has laws in place to protect responsible drivers, as well as laws that penalize drivers that choose to operate a vehicle without proper insurance coverage.

What is the Penalty for Driving Without Insurance?

Whether you are involved in an accident, or pulled over for a routine traffic stop, you will be penalized if you don't have the proper insurance coverage. Many uninsured drivers lean on a plan of driving safely in an effort to not be caught without insurance. However, no matter how safely the uninsured drive, there is still a possibility for them to be pulled over. The best option for avoiding fines is for uninsured drivers to acquire insurance.

What happens if you don't have proper coverage on the day you receive a ticket?

All motorists that are caught without proper coverage will have their license suspended for 90 days. They will also have to pay an additional fee to reinstate their license.

• First time violation: $150 fine
• Second time violation: $225 fine
• Third time violation: $300 fine

If you are involved in an accident, you may have to pay compensation or further fees to the other party, especially if serious injuries or death occurs. Medical bills, restitution and lost wages may all be your responsibility if a lawsuit is filed.
