What happens if you cannot prove vehicle insurance?

• A. Only a warning
• B. Fine only
• C. Suspended license and registration; insurance cancelled
• D. Vehicle impounded forever

Answer: (C)

Not having proof of auto insurance triggers enforcement designed to enforce financial responsibility. When a driver can’t show that the vehicle is insured, authorities have grounds to take steps to prevent driving without coverage. The sanctions aim to make you address the lapse: your driving privilege can be suspended, and your vehicle’s registration can be suspended as well. If the policy is not valid or is found to be canceled, the lack of coverage is resolved by canceling the existing insurance. This combination of license and registration suspension with potential cancellation of insurance is more serious than a simple warning or a fine, and it isn’t an ongoing impoundment—it's a temporary measure until you restore coverage and comply with proof requirements.
