Suspension and Reinstatement
Indiana law gives courts the authority to order the Indiana BMV to suspend a motorist’s driving privileges when he or she is found to have committed certain traffic violations.
Previously Uninsured Motorists Registry (PUMR)
The BMV has terminated the suspensions of any and all persons whose driving privileges were suspended prior to November 5, 2012 because they were on the Previously Uninsured Motorist Registry and did not provide proof of financial responsibility upon request by the BMV. All references to the PUMR-suspension will be removed from the affected individuals' official driving records, and no reinstatement or other fees related to the PUMR-suspension will be assessed. Deletion of the PUMR-suspensions will have no effect on the driving privileges of individuals who are currently suspended, or will be suspended, for reasons unrelated to the PUMR-suspension. In the event that a person’s PUMR-suspension has been fully served, the BMV will still remove all references to the PUMR-suspensions from the individual’s official driving record and will notify the individual by mail that this has occurred.Driving Records And Points
Indiana law assesses a point value for most traffic-related convictions. Point values for offenses range from two to eight points, depending on the seriousness of the violation. Points stay active on an individual’s driving record for two years from the conviction date of the violation.
Proof Of Insurance
Indiana motorists are often required to have their insurance provider electronically submit provide proof of insurance to the BMV after being involved in accidents or traffic violations.
Driver Safety Program
The BMV's Driver Safety Program is available through classroom instruction, online, or by video/DVD.
Common Suspension, Reinstatement, And Insurance Forms
Indiana motorists involved in accidents or who have received convictions for traffic offenses may be required to submit one or more forms to the BMV.
Common Traffic Violations
Indiana law gives courts the authority to order the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to suspend a motorist’s driving privileges when he/she is found to have committed certain traffic violations.
