How screwed am I?

Okay,

I had comp insurance through gieco on my 93 delsol. It was $700 for 6 months…:jawdrop:
(just fire and theft)

I put it on the road and paid my 2 monthly payments of like 130$.
I stopped driving it so I decided to take my insurance off…but instead of being smart…i just stopped paying it.
Geico cancelled my insurance on the 1st of october. But I didn’t sell the car till the end of this month. ( the car just sat in my garage never drove it)
I never turned in my plates, I just kinda forgot too.

So I have no insurance on the plates for about a month now…If I go to the dmv to surrender the plates are they going to slap me with a fine?
If they do…do I HAVE to pay it…if I don’t what will happen.

LAST thing:
I know i’m dumb for doing this… so don’t flame me… I already know it was a stupid move.

It will be like $8 a day until you turn them in.After a while they WILL suspend your drivers license for x amount of days you didnt turn that shit in i think.This happened to me.Turn your plates in on Monday

Does your new car have new plates?

If so, just surrender your old plates and wait the days out. Since it won’t matter since you don’t need them anymore.

This happened to me with the Subaru. Apparently there was a 4 day lapse between having insurance on my plates when I transfered to the 2.5rs, about 4 months later I got pulled over, and since the lapse was there I got towed, ticketed, and fined. About $600 total cost and I lost my custom plates.

^^ You have new plates on the new car right?

If so, just turn em in like in my previous post, there will be no consequences.
