After being charged with a DUI or another infraction requiring <\/span>SR-22 insurance<\/span><\/a>, driving a car may no longer be your most cost-effective option. Although mopeds and motorized scooters may still require you to have a license and insurance, they\u2019re often much more affordable.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Switching to a scooter can help you save money and stay on the right track as you work through the restrictions of your DUI probationary period. Before buying your own scooter, make sure you understand the basics of insuring your scooter to avoid any further issues.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kickstart Your Scooter Journey<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you no longer have a car or can\u2019t afford your car insurance after an SR-22 is applied, a moped or scooter can be useful for getting around. Many people start riding scooters after a DUI to meet their insurance requirements on a budget.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mopeds and electric scooters have much lower maximum speeds than cars, so there\u2019s typically less risk involved with a moped compared to a car.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

DUIs, Mopeds, and Scooters: Everything You Need To Know<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Scooters and mopeds were once popular after a DUI because you didn\u2019t need a driver\u2019s license to operate them if they had a small enough engine. However, many states have changed their laws to require you to have a license. If you\u2019ve had your license suspended or repealed after a DUI, it\u2019s critical to check your state\u2019s laws about operating a scooter or moped without a license.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also important to note that driving mopeds and scooters still counts as operating a motor vehicle in most areas. This means that you can <\/span>get a DUI or DWI<\/span><\/a> if you drive a scooter while under the influence. Even though mopeds are slower and less powerful than cars, they can still cause an accident if you choose to drive while intoxicated.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless of the type of vehicle you drive, make sure you\u2019re fully sober before you start the engine.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do You Need an SR-22 for a Scooter?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The answer is yes. Once you ensure that you meet the basic requirements to drive a moped, you\u2019ll need to secure insurance. SR-22 forms can apply to any form of motor vehicle, which includes mopeds and scooters. If you have an SR-22 because of a DUI or other restriction, you\u2019ll need to meet SR-22 requirements for your scooter just as you would if you had a car. However, the minimum insurance for a scooter can be much more affordable than car insurance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n
