Where operator has no license or is nonresident, procedure

Random law
In plain English

This law covers what happens when someone involved in a car accident in Missouri has no license, no registration, or lives in another state. That person cannot get a Missouri license or registration until they follow the same financial responsibility rules as anyone else would after an accident. If someone from another state gets their driving privileges suspended in Missouri, Missouri tells that other state. If someone from another state suspends a Missouri resident's driving privileges for the same kind of reason, Missouri will also suspend that resident's license and registration here until the person proves they followed the other state's rules.
