SR22 Teen Auto Insurance Certificate
Reader’s Question:
I’m required to carry an sr22 certificate. What happens if I ignore this? Will my license be suspended? What will happens if I turned 21?

Thank you for asking Lala.
If your state has required of you to prove your financial responsibility with a SR-22 certificate and you decided not to, then it is likely that your license will be suspended or even revoked. State laws differ so you would have to contact your Department of Motor Vehicles, or similar entity, to get more information on the specific penalties you would be facing with.
Your driving history follows you no matter your age so your license would stay suspended or revoked most likely until you get the SR22 for the required amount of time and take care of the infraction to the terms that the court or DMV compels you to. If you turn 21 it is not likely to change anything in most any state.
Goodluck!

Car Insurance For 18 Year Old Teen Driver With SR22
Reader’s Question:
When I was 16 I received a ticket for driving without a license. Im 18 years old now and have been residing in Oklahoma for the past 2 years. I want to apply for the Oklahoma drivers license. Are they going to be able to know the ticket I received 2 years ago? Can I still apply for a license in my new state? Thank you.

Thank you for asking Erwin.
It seems like you were convicted for driving without a license and without insurance when you were in Ohio. Even though you are a minor, if you drive without a driver’s license, Ohio could have started a driving record for you already and included these infraction. You will likely going to get points and convictions added on your MVR before you even have a license.
Its best if you took care of your ticket in Ohio previously by going to court or other means than you should contact the OH Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) to straighten this out. If you ignored the conviction or moved to Oklahoma before your offense were handed out you need to take care of them now. You may contact Ohio’s BMV to make sure how to reinstate your license from suspension, so that you can obtain an OK license.
Goodluck!
