NJ Traffic Violation Lawyers Help Clients Ticketed for Driving Without Insurance on the GSP
The Garden State Parkway runs for 172 miles from the southern end to the northern end of the state. Due to the regularity of traffic on this roadway, it is closely watched for traffic violations. One violation that is frequently enforced and severely penalized is driving without insurance.

- Every owner or registered owner of a motor vehicle registered or principally garaged in this State shall maintain motor vehicle liability insurance coverage, under provisions approved by the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance, insuring against loss resulting from liability imposed by law for bodily injury, death and property damage sustained by any person arising out of the ownership, maintenance, operation or use of a motor vehicle wherein such coverage shall be at least in: (1) an amount or limit of $15,000.00, exclusive of interest and costs, on account of injury to, or death of, one person, in any one accident; and (2) an amount or limit, subject to such limit for any one person so injured or killed, of $30,000.00, exclusive of interest and costs, on account of injury to or death of, more than one person, in any one accident; and (3) an amount or limit of $5,000.00, exclusive of interest and costs, for damage to property in any one accident.

Experienced NJ Traffic Lawyers Can Help You Contest GSP Driving Without Insurance Tickets
Due to the severity of the charge, if you have received a ticket for operating a vehicle without insurance, you should discuss some possible defenses with a New Jersey lawyer. New Jersey courts have dismissed, as violating public policy, uninsured vehicle cases where one spouse failed to notify the other spouse that their motor vehicle insurance policy had been cancelled. Another defense may exist if the insurance company failed to notify you of the policy’s termination. If an insurance company fails to properly notify a client of a policy’s termination, then the policy may still be in effect. Thus, a person cited for operating an uninsured vehicle may have, in fact, been driving with insurance.
If you have been cited for driving without insurance, the law firm of Bramnick, Rodriguez, Grabas, Arnold & Mangan, LLC may be able to possibly assist you.
