An auto insurance company notifies the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) that a registered vehicle's liability coverage has lapsed and was canceled. If the owner fails to submit new proof of financial responsibility or file an affidavit of non-use, which administrative action will the DMV take?

- BImmediately impose a mandatory one-year driver license revocation under implied consent statutes
- CClassify the unverified insurance status as an unattended hit-and-run criminal violation
- DReclassify the driver's standard license into a provisional permit subject to GDL curfew restrictions
Answer
Suspend the vehicle's registration until valid insurance coverage is submitted and verified
Motor vehicle codes require vehicle owners to maintain continuous mandatory financial responsibility (liability insurance). When an insurance policy is canceled and no new proof or non-use affidavit is filed, the DMV enforces compliance by suspending the vehicle's registration until active liability coverage is verified.
