Do you have questions about general driving-related requirements like registration and insurance? Are you unclear about laws and restrictions related to driving? The California Department of Motor Vehicles has answers. “Save Time by Going Online” at www.dmv.ca.gov.        

Q: I’m a senior citizen and recently lost the ability to drive due to medical complications. Where can I find information on acquiring an identification card? Is there a fee for my new card?

A: For customers over age 62, the DMV offers an identification card valid for 10 years for no charge. The card looks likes a driver’s license but is used for identification purposes only. The DMV will also exchange a valid license for a no-fee ID card for drivers who are no longer able to drive safely because of a physical or mental condition.

Visit www.dmv.ca.gov/dl/ dl_info.htm#idcard on the DMV website for more information.

Q: I bought a vehicle with a Clean Air sticker. Is the sticker still active even though I wasn’t the original owner?

A: Yes, all Clean Air stickers remain with the vehicle they were originally issued to and cannot be transferred to any other vehicle. If you purchase a vehicle that has a Clean Air sticker, you may transfer the sticker to your name. To do so, complete the following steps:

•Complete an Application for Clean Air Vehicle Stickers (REG 1000).

•Check the “Replacement ID card only” box.

•Submit the completed REG 1000 form and FasTrak receipt to the address on the REG 1000 form.

Q: I received a traffic ticket last week. Can I pay for it on the DMV website?

A: You may pay for your traffic or parking citation online if you received a citation in Los Angeles or Ventura counties.

To pay your citation, visit www.dmv.ca.gov, click on How do I Pay for a Traffic/Parking Ticket Online and click on the county where your citation was received.

Q: How much insurance am I required to have?

A : These are the minimum liability insurance requirements for private passenger vehicles:

•$15,000 for injury/death to one person.

•$30,000 for injury/death to more than one person.

•$5,000 for damage to property.

Liability insurance compensates a person other than the policy holder for personal injury or property damage (comprehensive or collision insurance does not meet vehicle financial responsibility requirements).
