conviction for no liability insurance, an Order of Suspension will be mailed to
the licensee. The suspension will be effective 21 days from the date on the

the citation date may be shown by:

certificate issued by the department indicating the vehicle driven or the
person is self insured.
(c) If the individual being suspended is not
named on the insurance policy used as evidence of liability coverage, a copy of
the citation must be submitted listing the vehicle covered on the
policy.

filed as compliance, it must be maintained with the department for two years
from the most recent conviction date for which evidence of financial
responsibility was required.
(1) if the
department receives notification of cancellation of the SR-22 (form SR-26) from
that insurance company, the individual's driving privileges will be suspended
