MOPED ARMY

yes

yes.

registration is 30, then 15 to renew.

insurance should run you 30 a year.

compare this to.....

car registration: at least 100, 150 when you put all the title fees, taxes, etc etc

car insurance: mine is 400 a year. and that's pretty low.

whoops thanks i should probably get insurance than

Not to argue,

But you don't need insurance for a moped in ohio.

a scooter yes, but moped no.

i tried to tell the judge you dont need insurance,

he didnt want to hear it.

so now i have insurance

Yes

from the bmv web site

yes you do need insurance. i have my registration form in front of me right now and the first bullet point below the information about the vehicle says this:

"In Ohio, it is illegal to drive any motor vehicle without insurance or other financial responsibility (FR) coverage"

also check out this link from the ohio BMV:

http://www.bmv.ohio.gov/misc/traffic_rules.htm

Read the "Miscellaneous Provisions" at the bottom. It says this:

"Liability Laws: Has compulsory/mandatory liability which prohibits the operation of a motor vehicle unless financial responsibility is maintained. Applicant for a motor vehicle registration or driver's license is required to sign a statement that he or she maintains financial responsibility. Proof of financial responsibility to be provided whenever a police officer issues a traffic ticket, at all vehicle inspection stops, upon every traffic court appearance upon written request by the BMV, and for every motor vehicle crash causing property damage in excess of $400 or personal injury or death.

*Proof of ability to respond in damages for liability, arising out of the ownership, maintenance, or use of a motor vehicle must be obtained in the amounts of $12,500 because of bodily injury to or death of 1 person in any 1 accident, $25,000 because of bodily injury to or death of 2 or more persons in any 1 accident, and $7,500 because of injury to property of others in any 1 accident.

State has non-resident service of process law."

Although i would love to believe that you don't need it, I have yet to see an official document stating that mopeds are exempt from this. :(

It looks like the Ohio BMV updated the moped page just this week! It lumps mopeds in with motorcycles now. You will lose in court if you don't have proof of insurance. And BUMP...

Monkey House!!!

Just insured new Streetmate in Cleveland. $9.00/month, full coverage (theft, liability, medical) with Allstate. Can call in, and suspend coverage over winter months. This insurance is a "rider" on my motorcycle policy, that is $120.00/year. Liability insurance (or bond), is mandatory for mopeds in Ohio.
