Reader’s Question:
My Tallahassee Florida drivers license was recently revoked due to driving without car insurance. How do I reinstate it? Do I contact Tallahassee or go to the HSMV? I’m in the process of buying another used vehicle, do I insure my old vehicle which I will not be using or the new vehicle which is not under my name yet?

If your drivers license is suspended in Florida due to being found driving without car insurance you should contact the Highway Department of Motor Vehicles (HSMV). The HSMV website may provide you the information you need or you can call the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, Customer Service Center hotline at 850/922-9000.
To have your drivers license reinstated in Tallahassee you will have to pay a reinstatement fee of $150 up to $500, for subsequent infractions, and provide proof of current car insurance. Any vehicles registered to you will need to be included on your car insurance policy. So if the older vehicle that you do not plan on driving is still registered under your name it will need to have FL insurance on it as well as the old car that you are buying.
