Per statute (La R.S. 32:863.1), drivers without insurance have three calendar days (excluding Saturday, Sunday and legal holidays) to provide proof of insurance, or the license plate and auto registration can be destroyed. The first offense reinstatement fee is $50.00, second, $150.00 and any subsequent offenses, $500.00.

Deputies will also be checking to make sure the driver and all passengers are properly restrained by seat belts per Louisiana law.
