Q: Can your license be suspended in Tennessee for having a tag that was registered to another vehicle on your vehicle?
An individual was pulled over by the cops. He was driving a vehicle that wasn’t registered, was uninsured, and had tags on it that went to a 2011 GMC Sierra but the vehicle the tags were on is a 1995 vehicle. Since this incident his dad has went and registered the vehicle and got insurance on it but the individual that was pulled over lied to the cops and said the vehicle had insurance so when his dad went and put insurance on the vehicle the insurance agent back dated the insurance policy so the individual that got pulled over wouldn’t get in trouble.

A: Those Rule of the Road violations should not get MVR points. However the Financial Responsibility Vilolation could suspend the License of the Driver and/or Owner. Hire a competent attorney to address these charges in Court. The Insurance Contract Date could be bad if the LEO shows up. Get a lawyer and be prepared to show all paperwork is now perfect, and be prepared to pay at least costs.
