Final answer:
If your registration is suspended due to a lapse in insurance and you don’t obtain new coverage, you will be fined and cannot legally drive until coverage is obtained and the registration is reinstated.
Step-by-step explanation:
If your registration is suspended for a lapse of insurance and no new coverage for that time frame has been obtained, the typical consequence is that you will be fined for the lapse in insurance coverage. Additionally, you will not be allowed to legally drive the vehicle until new insurance coverage is obtained and the registration is reinstated. It's important to note that the registration will not be automatically reinstated after a certain period of time, and it will not be permanently revoked for a first offense. However, continuing to drive with a suspended registration can lead to more severe penalties, including the possibility of having your registration revoked permanently after multiple offenses.
