VTL 512, Driving With a Suspended Registration


If you were charged with Vehicle & Traffic Law 512 you must take it seriously. It may be issued in the form of a traffic ticket but it is a criminal charge. A conviction to this offense will result in a permanent criminal record and possible jail time.

In most cases, the suspended registration stems from an insurance lapse. Often motorists that are stopped are not aware of an insurance lapse and not aware of a suspended registration. In fact, in many cases, the motorist will be properly insured but the registration is still suspended due to a previous insurance lapse.

When charged with VTL 512, it is prudent that you retain a law firm with extensive experience in “auto crimes”. The Benjamin Goldman Law Office has successfully fought many such charges, utilizing various defenses. There are notices requirements and mens rea requirements.
