hollister france Unraveling Insurance Laws |

Obtaining insurance for mopeds is a good idea, just as it is good idea to obtain insurance for any [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] other motored vehicle that [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you own. Moped insurance can help you to replace your motorized bike if you get in an accident, or it can [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] help to pay for medical or damages that might occur. No one likes to think about needing insurance until something happens, then they can find themselves wishing that they had purchased it, even if it was not a requirement in their state.
In Alabama, a motorcycle license is required to operate a motorized bike. This means that coverage for mopeds is required the same as it is for motorcycles. This law differs significantly in Arkansas, which only requires that you use goggles or have a transparent windshield in place. Colorado requires a valid drivers license to operate a moped. In Connecticut, these vehicles are considered a motorized [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] bike rather than a motorcycle.
In Ohio, moped riders must purchase some type of coverage. Coverage is relatively inexpensive, particularly compared to a ticket [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] or worse yet, an accident. Pennsylvania also requires coverage for this vehicle and the cost ranges from thirty to fifty dollars, depending on the type of policy that you obtain. Some states, such as Tennessee, clearly define what is meant by a moped or motorcycle. They consider a moped to be a motorized bike that is no greater than 50 cc and that is no more 2 [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] HP. It notes that this vehicle must [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] be designed to travel no more than 30 MPH. They do not require coverage, but they do not allow them on the highway. Texas has the same definition of what is considered a motorized bike, only they require coverage. In Texas, coverage must include liability and Medical Insurance for the rider.
In Virginia, the definition of what is considered a motorized bike is a little more lenient and therefore there are no requirements for coverage. However, some local laws exceed the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] state code, so a rider must make certain that they have the proper insurance for [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] their locality. In many places, such as Wisconsin a motorized bike must have fully operational pedals and the ability to be propelled by human power. Arizona tells owners to use their best judgment in determining if their vehicle qualifies as a bike or motorcycle. Some coverage is required for mopeds, but the owner is not allowed to get a title [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] for them.
Interestingly enough, some states require coverage, but they do not require the driver to obtain a license plate for the moped if it is 50 cc or less. These are some of the most confusing laws about whether one needs coverage for motorized bikes or not. The laws in Colorado are rather unclear and are up to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the discretion of the rider whether they decide to have coverage or not. Even though the law is unclear, it is still suggested that motorized bike owners obtain coverage just to be on the safe side. As one can see, laws regarding coverage for these vehicles vary from state to state. This is not a comprehensive list and does not include information for every single state. It only provides an example of how mopeds are [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] treated under different state laws. It is suggested owners contact their state and local authorities to find out what the laws are in their area and whether or not they need coverage or not. Even if it is not required by law, you will be happy you did if you ever need it.
