If DMV is notified that a vehicle owner is operating without proper liability insurance, how long can the vehicle's license plate be revoked?
-
A.
10 days
-
B.
60 days
-
C.
30 days Correct
-
D.
90 days
The answer is "30 days"
When DMV learns a vehicle is being driven without required liability coverage, the license plate can be revoked for 30 days unless the owner shows continuous coverage. The 60-day figure matches the first-offense driver-license suspension length from the point system printed a few chapters earlier, and drivers mix the two windows up.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 10 days
Too short for the plate revocation window the manual sets. This answer recalls a short courtesy window that the state does not actually grant.
B. 60 days
Matches the first driver-license suspension length, not the plate revocation window. This answer treats the driver-license and plate sanctions as parallel steps triggered by the same lapse.
D. 90 days
Longer than the plate revocation window the manual lists. This answer reaches for a three-month window because that sounds like a standard administrative grace.
