red tape ass raping

[NONE_too_SOFT]

so im about to get my license back, and apparently i have to file this "sr22 bond" in ohio to get my license, back and hold it for 2 years... which is basically an insurance policy that states i have Financial responsibility.

I have to pay this in addition to my insurnace?

What the fuck?

I never got pulled cited for not having insurance, i've always provided proof of insurance, its never been an issue. why the fuck to i need to waste money on this bullshit just to get my license back?

I'm fuming, if anybody has any info on this please help me out, because im about to just say fuck it and start fire bombing government buildings.

Much better idea. Do that. Seriously.









It's a money grab, man. The government doesn't give a crap whether or not you are/were responsible. They want your money. Easy as that.

yes, i know that. but i need to know whether this is a neccessary ass raping or if there are alternatives. we're talking fucking 1100 a year ON TOP of my insurance... after i've already paid my debt (6 mo's suspension, remedial drivers course, etc).

what did you do again?

[WARputer]

Yeah...Sr-22 is required for a certain time period .....how long ? ....after the suspension of a liscense. I've heard there's no way around it.....a friggin' rip off !

[NONE_too_SOFT]

god damned 2 years.

from what i read it covers your need for liability insurance though, so if i have an sr22 on my car i may only need separate coverage on my bike.

still pisses me the fuck off.

drewp-

I got a 12 pt suspension for paying a ticket, but not paying enough... in a nutshell.

[Mr Lefty]

I thought the SR22 was only for DUI's... it was a way of requireing them to carry extra insurance

[NONE_too_SOFT]

yea well apparently its for ANYBODY with a suspended license...


how much you wanna bet some lobbying motherfuckers instigated this shit to make more money for legal firms and insurance companies.

Verification of Proof of Financial Responsibility

Ohio's FR law requires every applicant for registration of a motor vehicle and every applicant for a driver's license, or the renewal of such license, to sign a statement indicating that the applicant maintains, or has maintained proof of financial responsibility at the time of application, and the applicant will not operate a motor vehicle in Ohio without maintaining proof of financial responsibility.



Proof of financial responsibility is required to be verified under the following circumstances:

When an individual or a motor vehicle owned by the individual is involved in a motor vehicle accident that results in bodily injury to or death of any individual or more than $400 of property damage and a complaint is filed with the BMV alleging that the driver or owner was uninsured at the time of the accident. The law permits the driver of any motor vehicle "which is in any manner involved" in such an accident to forward, within six months of the accident, a written report to the Registrar alleging that a driver or owner of any other vehicle involved in the accident was uninsured at the time of the accident. The BMV must send notice of the allegation to that driver and owner. Within 30 days after the mailing of the notice, the driver or owner must forward a report and acceptable proof of financial responsibility to the BMV.

When an individual receives a traffic ticket indicating that proof of the maintenance of financial responsibility was not produced upon the request of a peace officer or State Highway Patrol trooper during the enforcement of Ohio traffic laws or during a motor vehicle inspection. The individual must submit proof to the traffic violations bureau with payment of a fine and costs for the ticketed violation or, if the individual is to appear in court for the ticketed violation, the individual must submit proof to the court.

Whenever an individual is found guilty of a violation of a traffic offense that requires a court appearance. The court must require the individual to verify the existence, at the time of the offense, of proof of financial responsibility covering the individual's operation of the motor vehicle or covering the motor vehicle if registered in the individual's name.

Whenever an individual is randomly selected by the BMV and requested to provide financial responsibility verification.

looks like your kinda SOL... that sucks
