    Because Ohio suspends your license for failure to provide proof if you can't present it by the court date.

    VA is worse. If you cancel a policy or it lapses for any reason or it expires they send a letter demanding you present proof. Not a registered letter, just a letter. If you don't respond in the required time period poof goes your license. When I moved to Ohio I changed my cars to Ohio titles/registration, got a new Ohio license, and switched my insurance to a local agent. VA suspended my license TWICE! Once for not responding to the insurance letter and a second time 7 months later for failure to pay personal property tax on my cars. You can imagine my mood dealing with those useless arrogant pr###s. Cost me three days work and a trip to Columbus both times.

    i don't see how they can suspend your driver license.

    if you DON'T have a car to insure. then what the heck ARE you going to insure.

    seems unconstitutional to carry insurance for no reason at all. just so you can keep your license valid.

    at one point and time, utah had that going on.

    my brother went to get his license, but was denied becuase he didn't have insurance. but he couldn't get insurnace because he didn't have a car to insure. and he couldn't buy a car, because he didn't have insurance. ( he was trying a used car lot at that time).

    Illinois suspends your license also for three months with no work permit allowed. I just got mine back for that exact issue, no other tickets in over 15 years.

    It must not be in every case because I asked and was told by the state's attorney that it would only be a fine because I have never had an insurance ticket before.

    A permit that allows a person to drive for work while their license are suspended.

    Go with another company besides Prime if you can unless you like to drive extremely slow or their pay is extremely high. I just wanted to add that since im governed at 64 and always pass prime trucks easily. Sniders are also slow but now as slow as the Primes. Im not saying theres anything bad about the company though... they might be nice to work for as well but they sure do go slow.

    Many Primes runs slow because they have some sort of [good?] bonus when your avg speed for a period comes in under some number. I don't think their fleet is all governed that slow but it may be, and only l-o's and o-o's run 65+
