Driving Without Insurance Minnesota MN

Reader’s Question:

What will be the penalties if I drive without insurance in the state of Minnesota? Recently I was pulled over and got a ticket for being uninsured. I got insurance, appeared in court and paid my fine however they never asked for proof of auto insurance at the courthouse. When I went to renew my tabs the Department of Motor Vehicle informed me that my license and license plates were revoked! Why?

That should not have occurred. You should be able to resolve it with the Minnesota Department of Motor Vehicle. Show them that you appeared in court and satisfied the requirements such as paying the fine. The only time the court would consider revoking or suspending your license would be if you failed to appear in court, if you are arrested, charged and convicted for violation of driving law in Minnesota.

If they inform you that you did not satisfy the requirements, then you may now be required to provide proof of financial responsibility.
