Registration Suspended

[kelliemz]

My question involves vehicle registration or title in the state of: Pennsylvania. I was pulled over and found out my registration was suspended and the cop was saying my insurance wasn't showing up! I had insurance on my vehicle and showed the cop my insurance card. But since I had gone without insurance a little while ago my registration was suspended. I called Penn Dot and they told me to send in my plate and sticker to serve the three month suspention. So now I have a hearing on Oct. 7th 2009! And the funny thing is that I just spent $600 to get my car fixed so it would pass inspection! I tried to make sure everything was legal with my car so I didn't have to worry. So now I'm wondering If I can sell/give my car to a family member and have the title transferred into there name till the three month suspension is up? And can they get another registration for the car and could I still drive it? Because I need a vehicle to drive to work everyday! And If I can sell my car to someone and still be able to drive it, where would I have to go to take care of all of this?? Can someone help me out and explain to me what i would need to do to sell my car to a family member with the registration suspended??

What tickets did the officer give you? Did he cite you for no insurance? Driving with a suspended reg? Be careful what you do with those tickets as they can lead to much more suspension time to your drivers license.

Did you do this?

A hearing for what?

YES, as long as your license is not suspended for any of the above.

Can someone help me out and explain to me what i would need to do to sell my car to a family member with the registration suspended??

First, make sure you send in the plates to get that suspension started.

Then go to a local "instant messenger service" or "Auto tag store" they are called different things in different areas. They will be able to transfer the title and ownership to someone else.

Then you can drive that car as long as you maintain insurance on it. After the three month suspension of that reg. then you can transfer the vehicle back into your name.

Good luck!
