If you receive a citation for not having proof of insurance in your vehicle and you did not have valid motor vehicle insurance in your name at the time the ticket was issued, the Clerk’s Office will not have the authority to nullify the offense. You will have to pay the fine or fee, along with any other fines or fees and court costs due on or before your compliance date. The Tennessee Department of Safety will suspend your driving privileges until you meet all of the requirements necessary for reinstatement by the Tennessee Department of Safety.
