I am from Texas. I wanted to ask if I still need to get an SR22 if I do not drive or own a car, and if so, why?

Often a SR-22 is needed of a driver right after being found guilty of certain traffic infraction of the law and particularly during the time the motorist would like to have their license restored.

If your state is not mandating you to buy an SR22, its not necessary to buy an SR22. Whether or not you will drive or own a vehicle usually is not important if the state is requiring that you get yourself an SR22 as a condition of your license being restored. The SR22 is showing that you have financial responsibility should you drive a vehicle.

If you don’t own a vehicle and are mandated to obtain an SR-22 you can get yourself a non-owner SR-22 policy.

To learn more on why you especially are mandated to obtain an SR-22 you will have to get in touch with the Texas DPS or other TX agency which has informed you that you need to get financial responsibility form.

I called to cancel my car insurance since I no longer have a car? I was told that in order for me to be able to operate someone else’s car I need to have a non owners bond. Is this correct? I live in Lorain, Ohio.

It is not legal to operate any vehicle nor let any car owners permit anyone else to operate the vehicle without automobile insurance in the state of Ohio.

If you do not own a vehicle and will be driving other cars, non-owner insurance is vehicle insurance that you can purchase. Typically Non-owners insurance does not provide comprehensive and collision coverage on the automobile.

Bond insurance is also another term for a SR-22. If you fail to provide financial responsibility resulting in violating the financial responsibility law and being required to file with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) a bond or sr22 , will be required to maintain as proof of financial responsibility for 3 – 5 years.

If you are mandated to purchase an SR-22 and do not own a car you can get a non-owner SR-22. You will be able to fulfill the requirement mandated by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles with this insurance.
