All drivers in the state of Arkansas are required to have the minimum amount liability insurance coverage in the amount of 25/50/25. This stands for $25,000 for bodily injury coverage of one person per accident up to $50,000 per accident and $25,000 for property damage coverage. If you are found driving without auto insurance in Arkansas there is a graduating scale of penalties, all with mandatory fines. If you are caught driving without auto insurance for the first time you are required to pay between $50-$250. If you are caught driving without auto insurance in Arkansas for the second time you are required to pay between $250-$500. Any third or subsequent violation will result to imprisonment up to a year and a fine between $500- $1000 or both.

So If you get caught driving without auto insurance in Arkansas for the 4th time you will likely be required to pay the highest amount of fine and will likely serve jail time also. I suggest you contact the Arkansas Department of Motor Vehicle to get more information as to what the penalties will be for being caught driving without car insurance for the 4th time.
