Failure to carry registration or insurance 14-13 carries which penalty?

• A. $117
• B. Misdemeanor summons
• C. $137
• D. 14-13 failure to carry reg/insurance

Answer: (D)

The key idea here is that penalties for a violation are defined by the statute that creates the offense. When the offense is described as “failure to carry registration or insurance” and the number 14-13 is attached, that number is the statute that both defines the violation and specifies its penalty. In this context, the sanction is the offense itself under that statute, not a separate fixed dollar amount or a generic misdemeanor summons. So, the correct choice reflects citing the same statute that defines the offense. The dollar amounts or a generic misdemeanor label would only be correct if the statute explicitly stated them, but the item points to the 14-13 violation as the penalty, which is why this is the best answer.
