The Most Usual Penalties Given to Drivers Caught Driving Without Car Insurance

Leave a comment


News Image

“Driving without insurance is a major mistake. You are not only risking losing a lot of money, but you are also risking losing your freedom”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that presents what penalties can be given to drivers caught driving without car insurance.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/penalties-for-driving-without-insurance/

To legally drive in the US, drivers need to have car insurance. Except for New Hampshire, all the other states impose a minimum form of liability car insurance. Driving without insurance can be a huge mistake. The penalties that the drivers caught driving without insurance have to face can be quite severe.

The most common penalties for driving without insurance are the following:


  • Traffic tickets. Hefty fines are the most common penalties applied to drivers caught without insurance. Depending on the state’s law, traffic fines can be as low as several dozens of dollars to a few thousands of dollars. Persons who are caught driving without insurance in Tennessee will have to pay a fine as little as $25, while persons caught driving without insurance in Massachusetts will have to fork out as much as $5,000 from their pockets.


  • Vehicle impoundment. It’s up to the officer discretion to decide if a vehicle should be impounded or not. If that happens, drivers should act quickly to get their cars back. Many impoundment lots will wait just three days before auctioning a confiscated vehicle. To get their cars back, drivers should pay the fine, provide proof of coverage and pay the impoundment lot fees.

  • License suspension. License suspension for lack of insurance varies by state. In 44 states, drivers caught driving without insurance will get their license suspended. After the suspension period is over, drivers will have to pay some fees to have their licenses reinstated. Also, drivers will be required to carry an SR-22 form that proves that they have the necessary car insurance to operate a vehicle.

  • Prison. In some states, driving without insurance is considered to be a misdemeanor and can lead to a prison sentence. Jail time will most likely not be imposed for a first offense unless the uninsured driver is responsible for a serious accident. Most of the prison sentences for driving without insurance are between a few days and a couple of weeks. In some cases, drivers caught without insurance can go to jail for a whole year.

Rapid Adoption of Carterra’s LSA™ Instrument Drives European Expansion

Leave a comment


Carterra Munich Customer Experience Center

Carterra Munich Customer Experience Center

We’re thrilled to invite European drug developers and the research community at large to experience in person the massive throughput and minuscule sample requirements that the LSA enables.


SALT LAKE CITY, and MARTINSRIED, Germany (PRWEB)

Carterra® Inc., the world leader in high-throughput antibody screening and characterization, announced today that they have opened a Customer Experience Center (CEC) and office in Munich, Germany. Rapid European adoption of Carterra’s platform has fueled the need for the new office.

The Munich CEC will be a place for researchers throughout Europe to gain first-hand experience with Carterra’s game-changing antibody screening platform, the LSA, through demonstrations and workshops. Carterra will also offer basic courses in label-free biosensor operation, experimental design, and data analysis. Since its launch in 2018, the LSA is installed on three continents and in a majority of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. To support this exponential worldwide growth, Carterra has hired direct sales, support, and service personnel in Europe, most of whom are based in the Munich office.

Traditional antibody discovery requires a primary screen of ever-expanding antibody libraries by low-resolution “yes/no” assays to identify binders. Only a small group of candidate antibodies are then characterized on traditional, low-throughput biosensor tools, which provide real-time readout of the full binding profile. This workflow runs the risk that potential blockbuster drug candidates could be missed.

Carterra’s LSA is turning that model on its head by enabling the high-resolution analysis of entire libraries, combining screening and characterization into one seamless step, thereby minimizing the risk of missing a blockbuster. The LSA’s dramatic throughput condenses months of work into days.

Additionally, the LSA offers investigators the most resolved view of the epitope – the location an antibody binds to its target. An epitope is an innate property that cannot be changed and must be discovered empirically. The LSA is the only technology that enables characterization of epitope binding at the full library level. This provides biologics developers an enormous advantage in differentiating their biomolecules from competitors’ drugs and in establishing intellectual property claims.

“The LSA is changing the way biologics are discovered,” says Tim Germann, Carterra’s Chief Commercial Officer. “We’re thrilled to invite European drug developers and the research community at large to experience in person the massive throughput and minuscule sample requirements that the LSA enables. We’re making the traditional discovery processes up to 100 times faster while using only 1% of the normal sample input–it’s the definition of disruptive.”

About Carterra, Inc.

Carterra® is the leading provider of high throughput technologies designed to accelerate and improve the discovery of novel therapeutic candidates. Carterra’s LSA™ instrument, software, and consumables for monoclonal antibody (mAb) characterization deliver up to 100 times the throughput of existing platforms in 10% of the time while using only 1% of the sample required by other systems. The LSA combines patented microfluidics technology with real-time high throughput Surface Plasmon Resonance (HT-SPR) and industry-leading data analysis and visualization software to revolutionize mAb screening. Carterra, Inc. is based in Salt Lake City Utah, and has Customer Experience Centers in Dublin, California, Newtown, Pennsylvania, and Munich, Germany.
