Reader’s Question:

What do you think the penalty for a second ticket for driving without insurance insurance ticket in the state of Idaho? Am I going to Jail?

Rick

Nampa, ID

The Idaho driver’s manual states that if you violate ID insurance laws, you will, for the first violation, be required to provide proof of financial responsibility for a year. If you commit a second violation in a 5-year period, you will be required to provide proof of financial responsibility for 3 years. The acceptable form of proof of financial responsibility is a certified statement of liability auto insurance coverage from your insurance company which is an SR-22 certificate.

The state of Idaho laws states that driving without car insurance is an infraction punishable by a fine of $75.00 for any individual to violate the provisions of this section for the first time. A second and any subsequent conviction for a violation within a period of 5 years shall be a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not exceeding $1,000, or by jail time in the county jail not exceeding 6 months, or both.

As you can see a fine and possibly jail time for driving without insurance in Nampa Idaho. I sure hope you do not see jail time, as that seems extreme for your case.
