A lapsed policy refers to insurance coverage that has not been paid. In auto insurance, a lapsed policy may refer to 30 to 60 days of being uninsured. Not only will a lapsed policy affect your legal driving status, but it may also cost you more to reinstate. It’s best to ask your insurance carrier if they have a grace period in paying your premium.
It’s important to secure your auto insurance in the State of Illinois as you may be fined for driving without coverage. If you get caught driving without insurance, you will be made to pay $500 to $1,000 for first and second offenses. Additionally, your license will be suspended for three months with a $100 reinstatement fee, and your vehicle registration will also be suspended. Meaning, you or another person – even someone with a license – may not drive the vehicle around.
