Thank you for asking Trish.
If get caught driving without insurance in California or if you fail to show proof of financial responsibility, it is a violation of California Vehicle Code Section 16029. This can result in fines up to $500 plus penalties. Your vehicles may be impounded or your license may be suspended. If the vehicle gets towed or impounded, you are responsible for paying the tow charges and the storage fees as well.
This law, upon first conviction, a fine not less than one hundred dollars($100) and not more than $200 dollars ($200) will be assessed. Upon subsequent conviction occurring within three years prior conviction you will be assessed with a fine of not less than two hundred dollars ($200) and not more than five hundred dollars ($500).
The exact amount of the fine will be determined by the court of jurisdiction where you received the ticket as being uninsured motorist. Once the amount has been decided, you have the option to pay in person at the court and you can send the payment by mail.You may check in the court’s website if you can also pay by phone or online.
Goodluck!
