You will be away for three months, and your registered car will sit in your driveway with its valid North Carolina plate on it. No one will drive it. What does North Carolina law require for its liability insurance?
Correct answer: Keep the insurance in force for the whole time that the plate is valid
Why
Before a vehicle can be registered, the owner must certify that it has liability insurance. A liability policy starts at 12:01 a.m. on its date of issue and ends at 12:01 a.m. on its end date, so check the dates and renew in time to avoid a gap. If the DMV learns of a lapse, the owner can face a fine or penalty, and the plate can be revoked for a time.
