 Drivers who accumulate numerous transgressions while behind the wheel are often a danger to everyone else on the road. If tickets and fines aren't teaching you to drive safely, then maybe a notification that you must obtain SR-22 insurance will do the trick.
Every driver must maintain auto insurance, but SR-22 insurance is for high-risk drivers. An SR-22 policy is filed with your insurance provider, the DMV and the police, and it must be maintained for a predetermined period of time (which often lasts for two to three years). If you let your coverage lapse, your driver's license could be suspended.
Why is an SR-22 status such a big deal? Everyone is required to maintain coverage, after all. The big deal comes into play with the price tag. SR-22 insurance costs double, or even triple, the amount of normal auto insurance. The policy acts as both proof of insurance and a penalty for earning that status.
But what exactly does it take to get slapped with an SR-22 status?
- Driving without a valid license
- Driving without insurance
- Accumulating multiple points on your driving record
- Being convicted of a DWI or DUI
- Various other driving infractions
Paying SR-22 insurance premiums can take a big hit on your wallet, but don't let the experience be in vain. After fulfilling your allotted SR-22 timeframe, you can once again be eligible for normal auto insurance rates. Hopefully by that point, you'll have learned that safe driving is vital for everyone on the road.
