Facing a Driving Without Insurance Charge in Towson, MD? We Can Fix It Fast.
A charge for Driving Without Insurance in Towson or anywhere in Baltimore County can feel overwhelming — especially when the lapse was unintentional. Many drivers lose insurance coverage because of a missed payment, policy cancellation, or an MVA administrative error. Regardless of the cause, the penalties can be severe unless the issue is corrected quickly. In these situations, guidance from an experienced Maryland traffic lawyer can help prevent long-term consequences.
At the Law Offices of David R. Waranch, we help Baltimore County drivers restore valid insurance, resolve MVA compliance problems, and defend charges under §17-107 in the Towson District Court. Our team regularly represents clients throughout the area as a trusted Baltimore traffic lawyer focused on protecting drivers’ records and licenses.
What “Driving Without Insurance” Means Under Maryland §17-107
Every Maryland-registered vehicle must carry minimum liability insurance. If coverage lapses, the MVA can mark the vehicle “uninsured,” resulting in criminal and administrative penalties — even if the lapse was accidental.
Penalties for driving uninsured include:
- Fines up to $1,000 for a first offense
- Five points on your MVA driving record
- Vehicle registration suspension
- Possible jail time for repeat violations
- Substantial MVA administrative lapse fines (up to $2,500)
These penalties can increase quickly if the issue is not addressed — but many cases can be reduced or dismissed after legal and insurance corrections.
