Penalties for Driving Without Insurance in Maryland

avery blog post 1

Maryland penalties for driving without insurance: Each state requires your vehicle to be insured by law. There are some differences in the minimum liability coverage that must be a part of your policy.  As a licensed driver in the state of Maryland, you are required to have at least $30,000 per person for bodily injury, $60,000 per occurrence for bodily harm, and $15,000 of property damage. This coverage is for the other people involved in the accident if you are at fault. The Maryland Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Administration requires that all drivers carry proof of insurance, not doing so could result in a fine. Your charges could be dropped resulting in only having to pay the administrative fees if you provide proof in court that you had insurance on the date that you received your violation.
