Can I leave the tag on it, so nobody will tow it?
Will the DMV know that I have cancelled Ins., and be expecting me to show up, and if I don't they will press charges?

Please help...


As long as the car is not being operated, Larry, I think that the DMV will pretty much leave it alone. I'm not 100% sure (and I think the statutes vary from state to state), but I know in Texas, they don't give a hoot whether or not you're insured if you're not running the car. After all, if you were selling an operational car, you wouldn't sell it to someone with your insurance on it, would you? You'd cancel the insurance first and make them get insurance on it.

So leave the tag on, and no one should mind.
