No, you will need insurance in order to drive with an SR-22. By definition, though, an SR-22 is not insurance \u2014 it is just paperwork filed with the state that proves you have the required minimum coverage. However, it always goes with an insurance policy and is often called DUI insurance<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n In more detailed terms, an SR22 indicates that you have the minimum required insurance to legally be allowed on the road. Your insurance company fills out this form, thereby guaranteeing you have coverage and will take financial responsibility for an accident. SR-22 insurance is more expensive than regular insurance, which is why it\u2019s important to shop for a good deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n Note that in two states, Florida and Virginia, a similar but different form called the FR44 is the standard for certain violations related to alcohol. This form mandates that drivers carry significantly higher liability limits as an extra security measure.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n The common assumption with an SR-22 is that it is the result of a DUI. While this is often the case, an SR22 also results from other problems and can vary depending on where you live. Here are some of the most common reasons an SR22 is required for drivers across the United States:<\/p>\n The purpose of an SR-22 is to help you begin the journey toward getting back on the road and in good standing with the law.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n If you need an SR-22, you will be notified by the state or the court. In this notice, they will let you know why you are required to have SR-22 insurance. They will also lay out the specific requirements for your insurance as well as how long you\u2019ll need to have an SR-22 on record with the state.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n Remember that an SR-22 has to be issued by your insurance company. That means you will need to speak with an insurer about purchasing a high-risk insurance policy, then have the insurance company fill out the SR-22 form for you. There is no other way to obtain SR-22 insurance.<\/p>\n For anyone who already has a car insurance policy, talk with your insurer about adding an SR-22 to your record and filing it with the state. Uninsured drivers or those whose insurance company will not file the form will need to begin searching for a new insurance policy.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\nWhat is SR-22<\/strong> Insurance?<\/h2>\r\n
