I own two vehicles, a 2007 boxster I drive in the summer and an SUV I drive in the winter. I live in CT.
When I’m using the boxster I don’t use the SUV at all, in fact I disconnect the battery and it is un-drivable. And vise versa.
As such, I suspended all insurance coverage for the un-drivable SUV, and in the fall I’ll switch the insurance back to the SUV and suspend the insurance on the car.
This saves a good deal of money and it would be a waste to insure a vehicle that goes unused for months.
I received a notice from the DMV stating that the SUV’s registration was suspended for failure to continuously maintain liability insurance, (I did not realize this was required) and I am asked to either request a hearing or pay a civil penalty of $200.
I’ll pay the fine, but is there a solution that will work for this situation? Would it be possible to temporarily suspend vehicle registration to coincide with suspending insurance coverage on a vehicle that is not is use for 6 months at a time? Does anyone else remove insurance from a garaged vehicle and is there a way to deal with the registration requirement? Thanks

I've got too many vehicles. Several are often in some state of repair and not driven.
I can move them to "storage" on my insurance. Costs 20% of normal. There are restrictions of how often they can come in/out of storage but that is how I would handle it here in Texas.
