FAQ's for Drivers in Fort Wayne, IN

driver’s frequently asked question in Fort Wayne

What Is the Minimum Liability Coverage Requirement in Fort Wayne, IN?

Indiana law requires that drivers carry at least $25,000 per person of bodily injury liability, $50,000 per accident of bodily injury liability, and $10,000 per accident of property damage liability.

Indiana is a tort state when it comes to auto accidents. This means the insurance company of the driver found at fault in an accident must pay damages to everyone injured in the accident.

  • $25,000; Bodily injury coverage per person; Maximum payment for serious or permanent injury or death to a single person
  • $50,000; Bodily injury coverage per accident; Maximum payment for serious or permanent injury or death to multiple people
  • $10,000; Property damage per accident; Maximum payment for all damaged property in an accident caused by you

Although laws in Indiana do not require drivers to carry comprehensive and collision insurance, most lenders insist on this level of financial protection when financing a vehicle. The cost of this extra insurance should be factored into your overall monthly payments when considering an auto loan.

What Is the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit in Fort Wayne, IN?

It’s illegal for people to drive a vehicle in Indiana with the following BAC percentages:

  • .08%+ for 21 years old or older
  • .04%+ for commercial vehicle drivers
  • .02%+ for under 21 years old

In Indiana, you can be charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) if you have a BAC or any illegal drugs in your system. This is true even if your driving ability seems intact. You can also be charged if you drive while impaired, no matter what amount of alcohol or drugs you’ve consumed.

What are the consequences of being convicted of a DUI?

Penalties for an OWI or DUI charge are stiff in Indiana. First-time offenders may face 60 days to 1 year in prison, $500 to $5,000 in fines, and up to 2 years with a suspended license. These increase with subsequent offenses, and by a third offense, and ignition interlock device is typically mandated.

While most states have a “lookback” period in which they count prior convictions in determining whether an offense is a repeat offense often 3 or 5 years), Indiana courts consider two periods—5 and 10 years—when sentencing.
