 | I was convicted of a traffic offense and was ABLE to, and DID show financial responsibility. Money was not a question or an element. |
| I need to know if someone does not own a car but rents one frequently needs SR 32? |
| The question was..."What is sr-22 insurance?". You told us what an sr-22 "form" is. So is sr-22 NOT a type of insurance, it is simply a form issued by your insurance company to prove liability? |
| I was sued for $100,295 for an auto accident under State Farms Underinsured coverage. Well the DMV never told me that I needed SR22 coverage...And you dont tell me what it is, So WHAT EXACTLY IS IT??
|
| thanks |
| While you gave an answer, it was ambiguous at best. I still dont know what an SR22 is. |
| great! thanks for clearing that up! |
| I was convicted of a traffic violation and showed financial responsibility. I still need an SR-22 filled out anyway. This information is either false or not entirely true. |
| Nice insurance sales pitch |
| I couldn't be more pleased. I came with questions, I left with answers. Superb my friends. |
| I had a vague understanding on what the sr 22 form was, Now I understand better. I read some of the comments below and was shocked that some people still didn't know or got defensive. Maybe they didn't read (it is simply a form showing you are carrying a certain type of liability coverage.) Anyway, Thank You |
| I voted this way because this question does NOT answer the question of what states do not require car insurance. |
| great job gents |
| Thank you, I really needed to know where to get the form. My insurance company, something I didnt know before. |
| Need to include state by state info as to how the form is handled. Such as: Does California require the customer to go directly to the insurance Co. in person to request the form and then have to take it to DMV? Or does the insurance company send it to DMV in Calif. after requesting it from the insurance???? |
| answered all my questions. |
| We called our Nationwide agent to obtaine SR22
after 10 days of waiting we resived a SR4 22422
wich was not accepted by the DPS our insurance agent is saing that this Sr4 is the same as a Sr22 is this true. has any one had the same experience? |
| Thank you, I do understand what an sr-22 is and the reasons behind them better now but how long would an individual have to carry one in the vehicle? |
| Ok, so if I was pulled over and was able to show proper insurance the State of CA just wants to be a further pain in my ass by making me file one... cool! |
| how do I get sr22 |
| How does an insurance company find out about a dui conviction? |
| does the 3 year peiod of the sr22 become effective from the date of the DUI or from the day of purchase of insurance, does the 3 yr. period end after 3 yrs from the DUI |
| It is from the day you purchase the SR-22 and it has to be continuous. |
| I wanted to know if a person loses their license due to speeding violation will they need SR22 insurance? |
| good question but I was hoping for a more detailed answer. |
| an SR-22 is a document that shows proof of financial responsibility. Youll need an SR-22 if the police caught you driving without insurance, and youll be required to carry the SR-22 for a specified amount of time (usually three years). Once you properly fulfill that time period, your SR-22 status expires.
SR-22s also are associated with the following:
DUI or DWI or any serious moving violation
At-fault accidents while driving without insurance
Repeat traffic offenses or getting too many tickets in a short time period
License suspension or revoked license
How Long Do I Need an SR-22?
Expect a long relationship with your SR-22 — most likely three years — similar to a probationary period after a criminal offense. You must carry continuous insurance during the specified period of time before SR-22 status is removed. If your policy lapses or is canceled, your auto insurance company is required to notify the state immediately and your license will be suspended again.

| my son received 2 underage drinking tickets he was not driving a vehicle he does have car insurance why does he need an sr-22 |
| i think this is a very helpful article, it gives people who is unaware about this type of laws more clarification. |
| I was randomly selected to check for proof of insurace and unfortunately in the short period I cancelled one to go to another. Now I received a letter asking me to send proof on that day or I will have FR suspension, please tell me what can I do. Can I buy an SR22. thank you so much for your website |
| Is there any where I can find my sr 22 case number? |
| I do have one for you...If you get a dui and are required to have an SR22, how long are you required to have it? My understanding was that you must have it for at least a year (according to the DMV), but I want to make sure that is a fact. |
