Your Financial Responsiblities in Nebraska
The goal of the Financial Responsibility Division is to identify those individuals who do not drive safely; to assist individuals in becoming safe drivers; or to deny driving privileges to those who cannot or will not drive safely; and aid the courts in collecting traffic violation fines and support order payments.
To achieve these goals, the Financial Responsibility Division processes driver license suspensions for individuals who: Fail to Comply with a traffic citation (Nebraska and out-of-state), Fail to Comply with a Support Order (child or alimony), Failure to Maintain Proof of Financial Responsibility, Convictions for No Proof of Insurance, Failure to complete a driver improvement course (for individuals under 21 accumulating 6 points in one year), Failure to provide Proof of Financial Responsibility (following involvement in an accident), Default of Payment on an Agreement (following involvement in an accident), Failure to satisfy a court judgment (following involvement in an accident) and Default in Payment – Unsatisfied Judgment (following involvement in an accident).
The Financial Responsibility Division processes driver license revocations for individuals who: Accumulate 12 or more points within 2 years, Administrative License Revocations (for failure of a chemical/breath test or refusal to take a test), Court convictions, and Disqualifications of a Commercial Driver’s License.
A computer program was developed to track insurance information for individuals that are required by State Statute to maintain the SR-22 Certificate of Insurance and we encourage all insurance companies to process the SR-22 and SR-26 Cancellation Notices electronically.
The Department of Motor Vehicles has approved schools to offer a Defensive Driving Course for a 2 point credit on their driving record, to prevent suspension for individuals under 21 accumulating 6 points in one year, to prevent suspension of the Employment Drive Permit and to reinstate a Point Revocation.
Nebraska Courts notify this office electronically of all traffic convictions in this state and those violations are automatically posted to the driving records and points are assessed according to Nebraska law.
This division also processes applications for Employment Drive Permits and Medical Hardship Permits, and provides authorization letters to have an Ignition Interlock Restriction on their driver’s license.
Nebraska Drivers Education Requirements
Drivers Ed is required for all new drivers regardless of age. In Nebraska, most new drivers are teens and before they attempt to get a license they must take an approved drivers education course.
Teens now have the variety of online driver’s education. While those born in the 1980s had to go to driver’s education classes either at the Department of Motor Vehicles or at their high school (or wherever offered), now teens can either start their learning encounter, wrap it up, or improve on the knowledge they already have by accessing online driver’s education courses. Most states offer driver’s education online for teens (and adults), and, in this hi-tech era, this is a great way to get the interest of untested drivers. Perhaps, in time, the number of accidents including teens and the number of teen deaths owing to automobile accidents will be erased on the whole. Much effort is needed to perfect driver’s education systems, but it is an evolving work for future generations.
