2011 Connecticut Code
Title 14 Motor Vehicles. Use of the Highway By Vehicles. Gasoline
Chapter 248 Vehicle Highway Use
Sec. 14-216. Operation by persons under eighteen without insurance.

      Sec. 14-216. Operation by persons under eighteen without insurance. No person under the age of eighteen years shall operate any motor vehicle upon the highways of this state, and no person shall cause or permit such operation of any motor vehicle by any such person, unless such motor vehicle has been insured for the amounts required by section 14-112. Violation of any provision of this section shall be an infraction. This section shall not apply to any motor vehicle bearing farm registration plates.

      (1949 Rev., S. 2419; 1957, P.A. 334; P.A. 76-381, S. 9.)

      History: P.A. 76-381 replaced provision for $100 fine and/or 30 days' imprisonment with statement that violation deemed an infraction.

      Mere fact that owner's son, admittedly under 16, was operator of car does not ipso facto establish violation by owner. 18 CS 41.
