It's not seen that way by the officials. You're supposed to know this stuff. Trust me as I went through the same thing. That's how I know now.

No sir. Insurance companies are opposite of tag offices. They don't care if your car is running or if you drive it or if it's even tagged at all. As long as you have insurance. The only thing the look at is validity of your driver's license.

The reason this happens is when you cancel with an insurance company, that company reports that to the state of your residence. You have a window of about 24 hours to get new insurance or the gap will be officially "illegal." This will cause your registration to be suspended.

So you say you already paid the $25 fine? Then this is what I think is going on. The $25 fine you paid was just the fine amount owed because you didn't cancel the tag. That didn't actually reinstate your tag. Your tag is still canceled until you go up to the tag office and reinstate it yourself, showing new insurance. Your tag WAS still suspended. There is no case.
