What are the Laws regarding SR22 insurance?

George

Roundrock, Tx.

George,

Laws regarding DUI/DWI and car insurance coverage vary by state. Most states require DUI offenders to get a form called an SR-22 from their auto insurers, so you can’t hide. This form proves to the DMV that you carry liability insurance and removes your license suspension. An SR-22 also requires your insurance company to notify the DMV if it cancels your auto insurance for any reason. You’ll likely have to file proof of insurance for three – sometimes five – years with your state’s DMV.

Excellent Question.

SR 22 Insurance Austin Texas

What is SR22 insurance and why do I have to have it?

Bill

Austin, TX.

Bill,

SR22 is a form of auto insurance. Required by law for someone that has been convicted of a DUI/DWI.

SR22 insurance guarantees the Department of Public Safety ( DPS) that you have the required amount of coverage required to drive under this situation. If th policy lapses, ends, or has any gap in it, the insurance company is required to let the DPS office that you no longer have insurance coverage. Upon this notification the DPS office will suspend your drivers license immediately.

As you can see it is very important to get and keep the SR22 insurance if convicted of a DUI/DWI.

Interesting Question. Thank you hope this information helps.

I just got charged with a DUI. What are my next steps to get SR22 insurance?

Tom

Austin TX.

 Tom,

After your conviction you will be notified of all your penalties. Then you will need to go online and do some comparison shopping.  You are in the high risk category. SR22 insurance is more expensive than regular car insurance.

Your auto insurance after a DUI will be affected for several years. Even if you get canceled or rejected from any of the big auto insurance carriers just know that there are still plenty of options for your SR22 auto insurance.

Interesting question.

Cheap SR 22 quotes Austin Texas

Will my premiums increased after getting a DUI/DWI?

Alex

Austin, TX.

Alex, 

The amount your premiums will increase is unknown, it is likely they could double. Further, if you have enjoyed a “preferred driver” status with low premiums, a DUI conviction could nearly triple your premiums in some states.

 There are no laws in effect that regulate the premiums that you are charged. What this means is that each company is free to charge whatever prices they want in order to issue you one of these high risk SR22 insurance policies. Knowing this, the best thing you can do is to comparison shop and get quoted on as many policies as you possibly can before deciding on a particular insurance company.

Thank You for the great question.

SR 22 Insurance New Braunsfel Texas

How long will I have to carry SR22 insurance? 

Charles,

New Braunsfel , TX.

Charles,

Under normal circumstances you are required to carry SR22 insurance for a minimum of 3 years. You should know exactly how long you will need this insurance when you go to court for your hearing.

This is considered high risk insurance. The state has determined that in order to ‘re-acquaint’ those offenders with the driving public they would need to be assured that they would carry a specific amount of coverage due to the increased risk that these very same DUI offenders have the potential to re-offend and possibly cause bodily harm or property damage.

Great Question.
