An SR22 policy is a type of high-risk auto insurance policy normally required after a DUI or drunk driving related offense (also included: wet reckless). The policy is named after the state form that is required by the DMV in order to reinstate a drivers license after a DUI related offense, a form
SR22.
The SR22 form is basically an agreement (the agreement
is made through an SR22
filing) between the DMV and the high risk
SR22 car insurance provider that states that if for any reason the SR22 car insurance provider is not providing insurance coverage for you they will immediately notify the DMV.
When the SR22 insurance company notifies the DMV that they are not actively covering you (this could be for many different reasons, see below) the DMV will promptly suspend your license for failure to comply with their minimum insurance
requirements in regards to the SR22 filing.
SR22 Policy Lapse in Coverage
Reasons an SR22 auto insurance provider would notify the DMV of a lapse in coverage:

There is a lapse in your SR22 auto insurance Policy coverage for any reason.

There's a lot of other reasons but the above 3 are the most predominant reasons people get their drivers license suspended for failure to comply with the SR22 auto insurance requirements.
