An SR22 insurance 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, form
SR22.
The SR-22 form is basically an agreement (the agreement
is made through an SR22
filing) between the DMV and the high risk
SR22 insurance provider that states that if for any reason the SR-22 insurance provider is not providing insurance coverage for you they will immediately notify the DMV.
When the SR-22 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 Lapse in Coverage
Reasons an SR-22 insurance provider would notify the DMV of a lapse in coverage:
You are late making your premium payments. (Yes, some providers will notify the DMV if you are even 1 day late).
There is a lapse in your SR-22 coverage for any reason.
You switch insurance providers and the coverage lapses for even 1 day during the transition.
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 SR-22 insurance requirements.
SR22 Insurance Requirements
SR-22 insurance requirements do vary by state but in most cases you’ll be required to carry
the SR22 insurance for a minimum of 3 years after a DUI related offense. That means that for 3 years from the date your drivers license was re-instated you will be required to carry the mandatory SR-22 insurance policy.
