Indiana Court of Appeals
State of Indiana and Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles v. Nicholas Hargrave
82A01-1504-CR-137
Criminal. Reverses denial of state’s motion to correct error after the trial court granted Hargrave’s petition asking it to order the BMV to reinstate his driving privileges without requiring him to provide proof of SR22 insurance. The BMV properly interpreted federal regulations adopted by Indiana statutes to mean that a person who holds a CDL at the time he commits a traffic violation may not participate in a diversion program. And because Hargrave’s driving privileges were suspended under I.C. 9-30-6-9, he is required to file proof of financial responsibility for three years following the termination of his suspension under I.C. 9-30-6-12.
