answer:Some states will fine you if your car is not covered for a period while it is registered, so you might want to call the state and find out for sure. If your insurance company reports the lapse or the state finds out some other way, then you might get in trouble. They might tell you that you need to turn in your tags in order to let the insurance lapse. Then your apartment complex might not let you park it there (some have strict rules about cars being tagged). Call your state and find out what they say.
