Ohio's Financial Responsibility Law And The FRA Suspension
Minimum Insurance Requirements For Ohio Drivers
Accidents And Motorcycle Insurance
It is illegal to drive your motorcycle on Ohio roads without meeting certain minimum requirements for financial responsibility. Most riders meet that standard by buying motorcycle insurance. Insurance coverage is tied to the vehicle, not the individual. If you have an auto insurance policy for a car, that is not sufficient to allow you to ride your motorcycle legally.

Thus, even a conviction for a minor misdemeanor possession of marijuana can have major ramifications for financial aid.
