Will My Insurer Know About the Written Warning for Speeding Ticket
Reader’s Question:
When I was driving to work, I was stopped for doing 45 mph in a 25 mph. The State Patrol gave me a written warning, with no fine. With what happened, will my insurance company be contacted?

Typically a ticket for exceeding the speed limit in Dayton, OH by more than 5 mph, when the limit is less than 55 mph, results in receiving two points on your Ohio driver’s license. Since you received a written warning with no fine, this violation might not be placed on your Ohio driving record. Although, some states do not carry a fine or require a court appearance for a written warning; it instead serves as a reminder for you about your speedy driving. On some other states, they will file this warning or place a notation regarding it on your driving record. To find out for certain what Ohio does regarding written warnings, check with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles or Traffic Violation Bureau.
Your insurance company will not be contacted by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, but if the speeding offense is recorded by the Ohio State Patrol and placed on your motor vehicle record, your car insurance company will see the violation when they next look up your MVR. They normally do this when you start a policy, make changes and/or at renewal time.

It looks like that you are being required in Ohio to get a proof of financial responsibility or SR-22 so you may be able to reinstate your drivers license but do not own a vehicle. In this kind of situation, you will be needing a non owners sr-22.
The SR-24 was a form originally was for a notice of change of vehicle regarding a car listed on a car insurance policy with a SR-22. The use of the SR24 in recent years has disappeared almost. A replacement SR22 is generally utilized, the state needs to be notifies on the change in the vehicle.
If you are not required to carry an SR-22 but needing to have a car insurance insurance to be able to get a driver’s license in Ohio, you should then obtain a non-owners policy since you do not own a vehicle or has any intention of purchasing one in the near future.
You may contact the OH Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) and/or the OH Department of Insurance to get more information on sr-24 or sr-22.
