How can I get a Car License?

How can I get a license if I don't have a car to insure with SR 22 insurance?

• I am not capable of driving. My husbands license was revoked between 2005 and 2006 in Illinois.To have it reinstated, he says he was told he had to have SR 22 insurance in that state. We now live in Reno, Nevada. Does that demand still apply, or is it even true? I certainly hope not because that leaves us in a very sticky situations, as we do not -own- a car to insure. As I understand it, he would need a license, so he could buy a car, so he could insure it. Essentially if he were to need SR 22 insurance to get a driverse license, he would need to follow quite a circular demand, being that to get a car, he needs a lisense, but to get a license, he needs SS 22 insurance, but to get insurance, he needs a car. So you see his predicament if that is what we need to do. If this is the case, it's impossible for him to get either a license or a car. Is there non-owner insurance? We are rather young and do not have any relatives in this state to help answer these tough questions or help us out financially.

• Answer:

  Its going to cost a lot more money than you think you can get a sr22 non owner policy you also have to pay 30 bucks a month just for the sr22 which is an electronic letter to the dmv every month showing insurance has been paid. And yes in order to get a nevada license you have to get a release from the previous state. So no matter what he is going to be jumping through hoops to get a license. And once he buys a car he needs to transfer over to a new ownership policy and if its a car with a lien holder he will have to have full coverage. Your husband will be considered a high risk for the next 3 years once the 3 years is reached the insurance will drop down to something a lot more reasonable. Good luck I hope it works out. He is not alone hundreds of thousands of people a year get stuck in the same boat. It sucks but there is little you can do if you want a drivers license its gonna cost .you.
