Misplaced Auto Insurance Policy Nevada NV
Reader’s Question:
Hi there. I kinda misplaced my auto insurance policy and I’ve forgotten when it expires, so I’m not really sure if I’m still covered. What’s gonna happen if I get caught without insurance in Nevada? Can I go to jail for this?

Well, Andy, I do hope you find your auto insurance policy soon. It’s really not safe to be out in the streets without the proper insurance. Why don’t you call your auto insurance agent in Nevada as I’m pretty sure he can give you a copy of your papers? You have to keep your insurance ID card in your car at all times if you want to drive legally in the state of Nevada. If you get caught by the police, and you don’t have your insurance card, they can suspend your vehicle’s registration. It’s gonna cost you more to have your registration reinstated. Also, the DMV guys can remove your license plates if they find out that you do not have auto insurance. They may also have your car impounded. Worse, if you get into an accident and your auto insurance has lapsed, you’re gonna have to pay for everything. And believe me, it can cost tons of bucks! Think about hospital bills, car repair bills, legal fees if you get sued. It’s gonna be a lot more paperwork and cost a lot more money to have things fixed. So please, try and find your auto insurance ID card or just pick up the phone and ask your agent.
