In Lenexa, Johnson County, and elsewhere in Kansas, driving without insurance is a misdemeanor offense, not just a simple speeding or traffic ticket. Convictions in Lenexa Municipal Court for driving without insurance can lead to jail time, large fines, driver's license suspensions, and other penalties. Fortunately, our Lenexa traffic law firm's experienced lawyers can arrange diversions, dismissals, amendments, and advantageous plea agreements for many drivers charged with driving without insurance in Lenexa or elsewhere in Kansas. Call us at (913)764-5010 to discuss your ticket's circumstances today.
Most drivers are unaware that a conviction for driving without insurance in Lenexa can lead to a jail sentence, house arrest, or probation, especially if drivers have been previously cited or convicted of driving without insurance in Lenexa, Johnson County, elsewhere in Kansas, or in any other state or city.
Clearly jail time, probation, and house arrest can be a huge disruption to your life. Call one of our firm's Lenexa insurance attorneys at (913)764-5010 today to speak to us about your no insurance violation and resolutions which can keep the ticket off of your driver's license record and prevent you from having to serve a jail sentence.
In addition to the jail sentence discussed above, a Lenexa driving without insurance conviction will often also lead to a driver's license suspension from the Kansas Department of Revenue or another state's driver's license bureau. These suspension can greatly impact your life as they prevent you from legally driving to work, taking care of your children, and living daily life.
If you were pulled over by an Lenexa police office and were charged with driving without insurance in Lenexa Municipal Court, our traffic law firm's attorney's may be able to negotiate a ticket amendment to a non-moving violation, a diversion to the no insurance charge (which can ultimately lead to a dismissal), or some other advantageous resolution which will not lead to jail time, a driver's license suspension, or other serious complications.
Call our Lenexa insurance law firm at (913)764-5010 to speak to one of our firm's experienced traffic attorneys about how we can help amend your Olathe no insurance ticket.
One of the worst potential consequences of an Lenexa Municipal Court conviction for driving without insurance is a "habitual violator" designation from by the Kansas Department of Revenue's driver control bureau. This designation will trigger a three year license suspension.
Habitual violator designations are controlled by K.S.A. 8-285 which declares a driver is declared a "habitual violator" if they are convicted of 3 of the following charges in an 5 year period:
If you had valid insurance coverage on the vehicle you were driving at the time the ticket was issued, you may bring proof of that coverage to the court clerk’s office to be submitted to the State of Kansas for verification. If the insurance is valid, the charge of No Proof of Insurance will be dismissed. If it was not valid, you will receive a letter from the court with a new court date and your driving privileges may be suspended by the state.
If you did not have insurance coverage at the time of the ticket, you may be eligible to have this charge amended to a lesser offense, dependent upon meeting certain criteria and approval by a city prosecutor. If you are interested in amending your No Proof of Insurance charge, the following items must be completed promptly:
1. Obtain current liability insurance coverage for yourself or your vehicle.
This can be accomplished by contacting an insurance agent or insurance company that is capable of providing motor vehicle insurance in Kansas or your state of residence. If you no longer own a vehicle, you may purchase a non-owner’s insurance policy that will cover you as the driver of another’s vehicle.
2. Proof of Restitution or Letter of Release required in cases involving an accident.
If there was an accident associated with your ticket, you will be required to show proof of restitution from your insurance company for damages to the other party involved or a letter signed by the other party releasing you from any liability from the accident.
3. Bring proof of insurance and adequate funds to pay for fines and fees.
If you desire to amend a No Proof of Insurance charge to a lesser offense, the assessed fine is generally $300 plus court costs and must be paid in full at the time of amendment.
