Can you get car insurance if you have a expired driver license?

In New York you can purchase insurance for any vehicle. There are limitation however. Even though you will be the owner of the vehicle and insured it, our Department of Motor Vehicles won't let you register it or put plates on it without a valid drivers license. Sorry. Hope you have better luck where you are. Also in NY, you can obtain a "Limited" use Drivers License. It will let you legally drive to and from your workplace, if you are the sole provider for your family. Good Luck!
