Can You Go To Jail For Having No Car Insurance? 
It depends upon the state . I can only speak to Michigan laws , and the answer is maybe . In Michigan , if you are driving without proof of no-fault insurance , then you can receive a ticket in the amount of $ 200 to $ 500 and up to 3 points on your license . The reason I say this might lead to jail time is if you have prior points on your license due to not having no fault insurance . Getting pulled over and cited again for the same violation could land you in court and earn you some jail time depending upon the judge 's ruling . I know that is wishy-washy but there is no direct jail time associated with no insurance in Michigan . In summary , talk to a lawyer about it .
