What is the name of your state? Indiana
My son has a vehicle titled in his name. He is under 18. I have insurance on my vehicle and on his vehicle. We are billed seperately for both vehicles an get the multicar discount. I went through a tough financial period and my auto was up for reposession. Therefore, I let my insurance lapse. This would cause the premium for my sons vehicle to go up in price and I couldn't afford the payment. Therefore, I let his insurance lapse also (for a 3 week period). I didn't tell my son about it and let him drive. I know, stupid thing to do.
He was involved in an accident (not his fault). However, in Indiana the police report all accidents to the BMV and the BMV requires the driver of the vehicle to show proof of insurance. This is a form that is completed and signed by the insurance provider and provided to the BMV. Well, I can't do this - my son didn't have coverage.
When the proof of insurance requirement is not met, the individual gets his license suspended for 90 days and has to pay a fine and show proof of insurance to get the license reinstated.
My son had no idea that he was driving without insurance. Now he is going to have his license suspended.
Can this happen to a juvenile? The bill didn't even come in his name. It was in my name. Isn't the parent responsible?
If his license can be suspended - can he get permission to drive to and from school and work?
He has no other traffic violations, tickets or anything.
Please help.
Thanks
