Will my Drivers License Work in Another State?
Reader’s Question:
I just want to know if my license will work in another state like KS. I live in NE. Thanks.
Alfred
Thank you for asking Alfred.
If you have a valid driver’s license issued to you in the state of Nebraska it should be valid for you to use in Kansas and be able to operate a vehicle in KS.
The KS Highway Patrol states that the state of Kansas generally recognizes non-resident drivers’ licenses issued by other states and countries. State law specifies that non-resident drivers must be at least 16 years old. This means that, your 15-year-old cannot operate a motor vehicle in Kansas.
New Kansas residents are required to obtain a Kansas driver’s license and vehicle registration within 90 days of establishing residency . If you have a valid out of state license and have moved to Kansas to get a KS driver’s license you must:
* Present acceptable proof of identity
* Not be canceled, suspended or revoked in any state
* Pass a vision examination
* Pay applicable fees
You may contact the Kansas Motor Vehicles division of their Department of Revenue can give you more information on driving in KS with an out of state driver’s license.
Goodluck!

What are the Penalties for Driving Without Insurance in Nebraska
Reader’s Question:
I just want to know if I will go to jail if auto insurance in Nebraska I get caught driving without insurance? What are the penalties. Thank you.
Michael
Thank you for asking Michael.
If you get convicted of driving without insurance in Nebraska, the penalty is an automatic suspension of your driver’s license. The Nebraska DMV states that you can get your driver’s license reinstated by paying a $50 fee and filing proof of financial responsibility or sr22.
You will need to keep this type of insurance on file for 3 years. If you fail to comply with the financial responsibility law, this will result in the suspension of your motor vehicle operating privileges.
Since you were involved in an accident when you did not have insurance there is more to your suspension. If you want to get your license reinstated you will have to prove that you have made restitution for any damages you inflicted on the other party. To get more information, check with your local DMV.
Goodluck!
