Who needs an SR-22?

Most people think that getting a driver’s license is the hardest part about driving. But the truth is that just because you have been issued a driver’s license does not automatically imply you won’t make a mistake or two while driving. 

A few small mistakes are normal for any driver and you get off easily with just a slap on the wrist, but more than that and you are asking for trouble. If the number of traffic or driving violations is too high or they occur in a short span of time, then it might be time for you to get an SR-22.

What is an SR-22?

An SR- 22 is a verification that you’re maintaining an auto insurance liability coverage. It is a form required by the state and is filed by your car insurance carrier with your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). An SR- 22 is also referred to as SR- 22 Insurance or A Certificate of Financial Responsibility.

Who Needs an SR- 22?

The next question that comes to mind is, who needs an SR- 22 Auto Insurance?

Being involved in one of the following scenarios could result in you getting a mail from the traffic court or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), notifying you to get an SR- 22 from your insurance carrier.

The scenarios are:

- Being unable to show financial responsibility after an accident or a traffic violation.

- Driving Under Influence (DUI) or Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or any other similar moving violation that can put you and others at a risk of traffic accidents.

- Repeated traffic violations or frequently occurring offenses in a short time span.

- Driving carelessly, without an insurance, that results in a traffic accident.

- A revoked or suspended driver’s license.

How to Get An SR- 22?

The requirements vary from state to state, but the basic idea is that you need your insurance provider to fill out a form certifying that you are covered by an insurance policy. The certification comes at a price of approximately 25 dollars.

How Long Do You Need an SR-22 For?

In most states, you are required to file an SR- 22 for a period of three years. The requirement will be removed if you remain on the right side of the law during this period, but being involved in more traffic violations of a nature similar to the ones stated above, this period can be extended by the DMV.
