If
you’re a driver who has had a few too many run-ins with
the law as of late, prepare to be filing for SR-22 insurance in
the near future. Unlike other insurance policies, however, this
insurance won’t provide you with protection. According to
a recently published article on InsuranceAgents.com, SR-22 insurance
is not something drivers want to possess.
“Like
other types of auto insurance, SR-22 insurance is basically a
document that proves you have financial responsibility,”
the article, Getting Acquainted With SR-22 Insurance, reports.
“If you are cited by law enforcement for driving without
insurance then you will be required to carry proof of SR-22 insurance
for roughly three years just as if you were on probation.”

Although
proof of financial responsibility can be obtained through most
insurance providers, it is a strenuous process. Drivers are simply
better off practicing safe driving because there are several incidents
that can cause you to file for SR-22 insurance. They are:
1. Committing a DWI, DUI or other
serious violations
2. Having your license suspended or revoked
3. Being involved in an at-fault accident without insurance
4. Having a tendency to repeat traffic violations
If
you are required to file for proof, keep in mind that you will
be in possession of it for at least three years, a significant
amount of time to be stuck with a “scarlet letter.”
“Having to file for SR-22 insurance is never fun,”
the article emphasizes. “If you are required to do so as
a result of any one of the aforementioned traffic law infractions
then you will most likely be stuck with it for the substantial
period of three years. However, SR-22 insurance is crucial if
you want to prove your financial responsibility and get on the
right track to improving your driving record.”
