Hey I have a court date slip for not have the car registered in my name yet, and no insurance. I know the fines for the insurance, but can anyone tell me what the fine for the ownership is? and is there a way to have these lowered...say if i went to court and had it all fixed and is=nsurance, etc. would they maybe lower or erase my fines?


thank you

You can tell the prosecutor that you have taken steps to rectify the situation:

- produce proper ownership to him/her

- produce full insurance contract for said vehicle (not pink insurance card, might think you are trying to pull wool over his/her eyes)


I have seen prosecutors ask for reduced fines and or withdraw the charge, however it is still up to each individual prosecutor

But do you know what the fine for not having the car in my name is?
