Drivers caught operating a vehicle without valid insurance will be fined anywhere from $100 to $200 for a first offense, and between $200 and $500 for a second offense. Additionally, your vehicle may be impounded and towed away, in which case you will not be able to get it back until you obtain insurance and pay all towing and storage fees. And as we all know, those vehicle storage fees can be substantial.... Legal penalties for driving without insurance if you get into an accident. In California, your license will be suspended, possibly for up to four years. Bear in mind that this can happen whether or not you are at fault for the accident. You may be able to get your license reinstated after one year if you obtain valid insurance, provide proof of it to the DMV and pay a reissuance fee. You will also be required to obtain an SR-22 Proof of Financial Responsibility certificate and carry an additional high-cost SR-22 insurance policy on top of your regular one. Again, your vehicle may be impounded and towed from the scene. If that happens, you will be required to pay towing and storage fees before your vehicle is returned to you. The bottom line: the costs for getting into an accident without insurance in California are significant and will add up quickly. carinsurance.about.com
