A: The prosecutor has up to 1 year from the date of the incident to file charges against you. So, if the police officer wants to, he has 1 year to issue a ticket for speeding (2-3 point ticket) and a ticket for driving without insurance (4-point ticket). Your license can also be suspended for driving without insurance.
