Drivers in the state of Ohio pay less for their car insurance than drivers in most other states, but they better have the correct coverage or they will pay a penalty.  According to “Complying with Ohio Insurance Law” from Online Auto Insurance, all Ohio drivers must follow the Financial Responsibility (FR) law of the state.  Drivers also cannot allow someone to drive their car if it is not properly insured or if the other driver cannot prove Financial Responsibility.

An insurance company like Encompass Auto Insurance can help Ohioans obtain the minimum coverage they need to be legal.  The liability limits they need to cover are $12,500 for one person’s bodily injury, $25,000 in bodily injury per accident, and $7,500 in liability coverage for property damage.  All car insurance companies will issue an identification card with your proof of coverage that should stay in your car or with you whenever you are driving.  You’ll have to show the police that card in the event of a traffic stop or car accident.

If you really don’t want to purchase insurance coverage, you can satisfy the Financial Responsibility law by purchasing a $30,000 government bond from the Ohio Treasurer or a few other sources and filing a certificate with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) stating your financial coverage.  Without carrying the proper insurance coverage, your license could be suspended, your car could be impounded, and you could pay hefty fees to get both of those back.
