In a public service announcement, the Sparks Police Department is reminding the community that driving a car without proper registration and insurance is not only illegal but also poses a risk to public safety.
Sparks Police says officers will continue to enforce laws against unregistered and uninsured cars throughout the city, including through routine traffic stops and neighborhood patrols.
Targeted enforcement of these violations will take place in the coming months.
To avoid breaking the law, drivers should ensure their car registration is up-to-date with the Nevada DMV, maintain valid auto insurance, and carry proof of both when operating their car.
Penalties for non-compliance include fines, court costs, car impoundment, and license suspension.
For questions about registration or insurance status, residents are encouraged to contact the Nevada DMV or their insurance provider.
The Sparks Police Department urges everyone to help keep the city safe by ensuring their cars are properly registered and insured.
