Unlicensed motorists will need to obtain coverage – Handyman Insurance
One very common reason an unlicensed driver would need to obtain coverage is if their driving privileges have been suspended and they need to prove that they have purchased the state’s requirements in order to have privileges reinstated.
According to the South Dakota Department of Public Safety, an operator who has had their driver licensed suspended or revoked following a judgment, lack of insurance, driving under the influence, vehicular homicide or for two convictions of reckless driving in one year must obtain proof of financial responsibility before operating a vehicle within the state; this also applies if they wish to register a vehicle in SD as well.
Although this is an example of one particular state’s laws, there are many cases when unlicensed motorists will need to obtain coverage. Consumers should be sure to be familiar with their state’s requirements to avoid penalties for lack of an automobile policy.
