Ohio has specific regulations pertaining to auto insurance, which apply to Cleveland. Even though Ohio does not require an insurance policy for drivers, all vehicles must maintain proof of Financial Responsibility for as long as they are registered in the state. You cannot register your vehicle without this proof of financial responsibility. Of course the easiest way to prove financial responsibility is to buy an auto insurance policy with minimum (or higher) coverage amounts. Ohio requires that drivers have carry minimum liability coverage of twelve thousand five hundred dollars per person for bodily injury or death of one person, twenty five thousand per accident for bodily injury or death of two people, and seventy five hundred per accident for property damage. Unlike some states, Ohio doesn’t have an automatic system that notifies the state if your policy lapses, so the state randomly selects residents to provide proof by sending out a letter. Failure to comply will begin a suspension process – the first offense can result in the suspension of your driver’s license and vehicle registration for 90 days.
